In a reaction 5.0 grams of calcium carbonate on heating gave 2.8 grams of calcium oxide and 2.2 grams of carbon dioxide, showing that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

Solution
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.
