What is a situation in which a solid and liquid combine to make a gas and lose mass?

Question

In an experiment my science class did, we put aprx 1/8 Alka-Seltzer tablet into a capped container filled with water. After the Alka-Seltzer dissolved into the water, we massed it agan, and the class as a whole lost an average of .10g in mass. For the Apply section of the conclusion of my lab report, what is a similar situation where a liquid and a gas combine that let off a gas, thusfore taking away mass from the liquid/gas combo? Or, what is another situation in which these results (the -.10g) can be used?

Any suggestions helpful.

Answer 1

i would say water and dried ice, dried ice is a chemical, im not sure what chemical, look it up

Answer 2

Here's one...

Take a vinegar (acetic acid) and add it to a cup full of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). The resulting gas (carbonic acid) actually breaks into carbon dioxide (gas) and water (liquid). This is a similar experiment and the mass remaining in the glass will be your initial mass less what escaped as gas during the reaction.

Boiling Water

Answer 4

Sodium metal and water. The sodium and water form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
