Guys! is mass conserved when 10 g of sodium hydroxide undergoes a chemical change during an interaction with 57 g of copper sulfate? use complete sentences to support your answer by explaining how this can be demonstrated.

Yes, mass is conserved. When sodium hydroxide (clear solution) and copper sulfate (blue solution) are mixed, they form a copper hydroxide (a blue solid) and sodium sulfate (a clear solution). This can be tested simply. First weigh the masses (10 g and 57 g, which totals 67 g)) of the two starting solutions prior to mixing. Then mix and allow the reaction to occur and weigh the mass of the mixture (10g + 57 g = 67 g). The two solutions should have the same mass and therefore demonstrate conservation of mass.
