Solution

CalciumcarbonateheatCalciumoxide+Carbondioxide

  • Mass of reactant= Mass of calcium carbonate =5 grams
  • Mass of product =Mass of calcium oxide + Mass of carbon dioxide
  • =2.8+2.2=5 grams
  • Thus, Mass of reactant =Mass of product
  • Hence these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
