To effectively demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass for the reaction \( \text{H}^+(aq) + \text{HCO}_3^-(aq) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{CO}_2(g) \), you should conduct the reaction in a **Sealed Jar**.
This is important because the reaction produces carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) as a product. A sealed jar will contain all the reactants and products, allowing you to measure the mass before and after the reaction to ensure that mass is conserved, thus demonstrating the Law of Conservation of Mass.
In contrast, using an open container like a plate or a bowl would allow the gas to escape, making it impossible to accurately measure mass before and after the reaction.
