Physical and Chemical Changes

Nevaeh’s reactants (baking soda and vinegar) are a total of 55 g. After the reaction, she determined the mass of the products to be 50g. Why has the mass changed?

• A gas formed and left the mixture.

• The vinegar evaporated

• Mixtures are always less massive.

• Some mass was destroyed.
