Sally weighs baking soda and vinegar and finds that it ways 50 g. She mixes them together and weights them again and finds that they now weigh 30 grams. Explain what happened.
The total amount of matter is still 50 g (due to the law of conservation of matter), but some of the gas escaped so it was not measured the second time.
