This experiment aimed to verify the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction between barium chloride and sodium sulfate solutions. The procedure involved weighing the reactants, mixing the solutions, precipitating barium sulfate, and reweighing to find the mass of the product. The observations showed the total mass of reactants was equal to the total mass of products, verifying the law that mass is conserved in chemical reactions.

Aim
To verify the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction.
Theory
1. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical change.
2. Law of conservation of mass: In a chemical reaction (except for nuclear reactions as matter can change to energy) mass can neither be created nor destroyed. The reactants —> atoms of one or more substances simply get rearranged to form product. Total mass of reactants before reaction = Total mass of the product after reaction this law was proposed by Antoine Lavoisier. 3. Chemicals undergo several kind of changes, i.e. Physical, Chemical and nuclear. 4. Physical change: Matter only changes its phase from solid to liquid and from liquid to gas. Error! Filename not specified. 5. Chemical change: The atoms of reactants rearrange and form new compounds. Error! Filename not specified. 6. Nuclear change: The nucleus of an atom can be changed by adding/reducing the number of protons, in it/by splitting of nucleus. For example, Uranium can undergo fission to become Barium and Krypton. 7. In chemical reaction, when the reactants react they may take/give heat, gas may be released, bubbles may be formed, colour may change or precipitate may be formed.
Materials required two watch glasses, beakers, weighing balance and glass rod.
Chemicals Required Distilled water and one of the following sets of chemicals.
Procedure
1. Take two watch glasses and weigh them using the physical balance and record their weight. 2. Weigh 3.6g of BaCl2.2H2O in a watch glass of known mass. 3. Take 100 ml beaker with 50 ml distilled water in it. Label it as Beaker ‘A’.
4. Dissolve the weighed BaCl2.2H2O in the beaker ‘A’.
5. Now weigh 8.05 g of Na2SO4.H2O in another watch glass of known mass and dissolve it in the other beaker containing 50 ml of distilled water. Label the beaker as ‘B’. 6. Take another beaker. Weigh it and label it as ‘C’ 7. Mix the contents of beaker ‘A’ and ‘B’ in beaker ‘C’ stir the solution with glass rod. 8. You will observe the white precipitate that is formed in beaker ‘C’, due to the formation of (BaSO4) Barium Sulphate. 9. Weigh beaker ‘C’ again with the product obtained and record your observations. 10. To get the mass of the product formed, subtract the mass of beaker ‘C’ before adding the solutions and after adding the solutions from ‘A’ and ‘B’ beaker.
Observations
1. Mass of Reactants = 44 g 2. Mass of Products = 44 g 3. Mass of BaCl2.2H2O = 3.6 g 4. Mass of BaCl2, solution = 53.6 g 5. Mass of Na2SO4.10H2O = 8.05 g 6. Mass of Na2SO4 solution = 58.05 g 7. Total mass of reactants is 53.6 g + 58.05 g = 111.65 g 8. (BaCl2, soln.) (Na2SO4soln.) 9. Mass of beaker ‘C’ is C1 = 500 g 10. Mass of reaction mixture on adding in beaker ‘C’ is C 2 = 611.65 g 11. Mass of the product formed = C2 – C1 = 111.65 g Note: Mass of 50 ml of distilled water = 50.0 g (density of water = 1 g/mL)
Result
1. Within the reasonable experimental limits:-
2. Initial mass of reactant = Final mass of the product (reactant mixture)
