To find the mass of the gas produced in the reaction, we need to apply the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of reactants must equal the mass of products.
First, we can calculate the total mass of the reactants:
- Mass of Reactant 1 = 33 grams
- Mass of Reactant 2 = 57 grams
Total mass of reactants = 33 g + 57 g = 90 grams
Next, we know that the reaction produces a solid and a gas. We have the mass of the solid:
- Mass of the solid = 26 grams
Now, we can find the mass of the gas by subtracting the mass of the solid from the total mass of the products (which is equal to the total mass of the reactants):
Total mass of products = Mass of solid + Mass of gas
We set up the equation:
90 g (Total mass of reactants) = 26 g (Mass of solid) + Mass of gas
To find the mass of the gas, we rearrange the equation:
Mass of gas = 90 g - 26 g = 64 grams
Therefore, the mass of the gas produced in the reaction is 64 grams.
