9.5 More about conservation of mass
Grade 7
2
Not what you expect
When you add calcium carbonate to hydrochloric acid, there is a
chemical reaction.
The word equation for this reaction is:
calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
3
Not what you expect
The carbon dioxide gas escapes into the air because the flask is open.
You then cannot measure its mass. So it appears as if the mass decreases as the
reaction continues.
4
Open Ended
Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
1. In the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid:
a. Which one of the reactants contains the element oxygen?
5
Open Ended
Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
1. In the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid:
b. Which two of the products contain the element oxygen?
6
Open Ended
Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
1. In the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid:
c. Where does the element hydrogen in the water come from in
this reaction?
7
Open Ended
Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
2. Explain why the mass decreased in Mariam’s experiment.
8
Another surprising result
A French scientist called Antoine Lavoisier carried out this experiment in 1772.
9
Another surprising result
Magnesium + oxygen => magnesium oxide
There is an increase in mass because oxygen from the air has combined with magnesium.
10
Summary
Sometimes results in experiments are unexpected.
Finding explanations for unexpected results can lead to new ideas about science.
