chemical structure, while in a chemical change, substances
change their chemical structure.

Final Jeopardy Question
Students perform a chemistry experiment by mixing baking soda with vinegar.
They mix 4 grams of baking soda with 50 grams of vinegar in a 6-gram plastic cup
as shown below. The cup is left uncovered. The students record the mass and
temperature of the mixture every 5 seconds. They continue these observations
until 10 seconds after they see the mixture stop bubbling. Their data are shown in
the table below.
The data show that the mass of the cup and its contents decreases while the
mixture is bubbling. Explain why the mass of the cup and its contents at 25
seconds is less than the initial total mass of the cup, baking soda and vinegar.
Include in your answer a valid scientific reason on which you based your
explanation.
