Define the law of conservation of mass. How will you verify this law?

If 6.3g of NaHCO₃ are added to 15.0 g of CH₃COOH solution, the residue is found to weigh 18.0g. What is the mass of CO₂ released in the reaction?

State the law of constant composition or Definite proportion. Explain with suitable examples.

In an experiment 4.68 g iron oxide on reduction with hydrogen yields 3.86 g of iron. In another experiment 3.88 g of iron oxide gives 3.2 g of iron on reduction with hydrogen. Prove that the above data illustrates the law of constant proportions.

Weight of copper oxide obtained by treating 2.16 g of metallic copper with nitric acid and subsequent ignition was 2·7g. In another experiment, 1 · 15 g of copper oxide on reduction yielded 0·92g of copper. Show that the result illustrates the law of definite proportion.
