Answer:
A chemical change occurred and a gas was produced.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is no chemical reaction, the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em> says that
Total mass = Mass 1 + Mass 2
However, if the two liquids react and give off a gas, then
Total mass = Mass 1 + Mass 2 + Mass of gas
You are not measuring the mass of the gas, so the mass of the liquids after mixing is less than it was before mixing.
For example, if Liquid 1 was a solution of HCl and Liquid 2 was a solution of Na₂CO₃, they would give off CO₂ on mixing. but you would not be measuring the mass of the CO₂.
Molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula
(29.8 g) / [0.184 mol (44.00964 g CO2/mol)] =0.832= 83.2% yield CO2
