Question

A dash of vinegar and baking soda balloon system weighed 65 grams. After releasing the carbon dioxide, the system weighed 63.5 grams. How many grams of carbon dioxide were produced?

Answer 1

1.5 grams of carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, a dash of vinegar and baking soda balloon system weighed 65 grams. The system weighted 63.5grams after releasing the carbon dioxide in it.

This means that, to get the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced in the system, we subtract the mass of the system after releasing CO2 from the initial mass of the system before releasing CO2.

That is;

Mass of CO2 produced = 65g - 63.5g

Mass of CO2 produced = 1.5grams
