Use conservation of mass: total mass of reactants = total mass of products.

Given:
- Reactants: 12 g (NaHCO3) + 25 g (HC2H3O2) = 37 g total
- Products known: 10 g (NaC2H3O2) + 20 g (H2O) = 30 g

Missing product mass (CO2) = total reactants − known products
= 37 g − 30 g = 7 g

Check: 10 + 20 + 7 = 37 g, equals the reactants. So the missing mass is 7 g (CO2).
