A teacher performed a demonstration of a chemical reaction by stretching a ballon containing Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) over the top of a flask containing acetic acid (vinegar). When the sodium bicarbonate was added to the acetic acids the ballon began to inflate shown I'm the figure.
What will the total mass of the flask, the ballon, and products be after the reaction?
A. Less than 100g, because some of the solid baking soda disappears
B. 100g, because all of the atoms of the reactants remain in the flask
C. Less than 100g, because the gas has less mass than the solids and liquids
D. 100g, because the volume of gas inside the balloon has increased
