11. Apply Concepts You weigh a spoonful of baking soda and 10 mL of vinegar. Then you mix them together. You see that there is quite a bit of fizzing. You weigh the products after the reaction and find there is mass missing. Does the loss of mass disprove the law of conservation of mass? If not, how could you prove it? Please help I have to turn this in before midnight on canvas before its locked.​

Answer:

The loss of mass does not disprove the law of conservation of mass because the evaporated fizz goes into the air. Same with lakes when there is a big body of water, but it slowly starts to look like a smaller body of water. This is because the water evaporates, but the mass is not destroyed it is just being coverted into gas.
