help please ill give brainlest!
A student was adding baking soda and vinegar to a bottle. They then put a balloon on top of the bottle immediately after adding them together. The student observed that the balloon inflated and got larger. The student then predicted that the chemical reaction between the vinegar and the baking soda had created brand new matter, and would have more mass at the end of the reaction. Would you agree with the student’s prediction or not? Explain your answer.

Answer :

The prediction of the student about the amount of reactant and product is incorrect.

No, I do not agree with the student’s prediction because the amount of reactant is always equals to the amount of product. According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, mass cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore in any chemical reaction the mass of the products must equal or same to the mass of the reactants so according to this law, the prediction of the student is incorrect.
