Part 1 - Argument: A student was adding baking soda and vinegar in 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,

I would not

While the reaction of putting vinegar and baking soda together does create Cabon Dioxide, something has to come from something, the only occurrence of something from nothing was the literal creation of the universe. Thus, I conclude that it was created from two substances combining. It was the pairing of the two that created this because they both made the result. It would actually have less mass at the end because gas has less mass than liquids and solids.

true

explanation:

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
