In a chemical reaction, table sugar (sucrose) is mixed with sulfuric acid. The result of the reaction is a towering black structure of elemental carbon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide gases.
How can conservation of matter be proved using this reaction?
The masses of the sugar, sulfuric acid, and glassware should be recorded before the experiment, then the resulting reactant masses
should be compared with the original masses.
A
00
The masses of the resultant gases and structure should be weighed to show that the resultants are heavier than the products.
С
The masses of the resultant gases and structure should be weighed to show that the resultants are lighter than the products.
D
The masses of the sugar, sulfuric acid, and glassware should be recorded before the experiment, then the energy lost can be added to
the resultants and compared to the original masses.
