Below is a data table from an experiment in which an effervescent tablet is added to a test tube of water, producing a solution that fizzes and releases gas bubbles. The total mass of the substances and the test tube were recorded before and after the tablet was added to the test tube of water. If matter is always conserved, how do you explain these results? Explain in 3-5 sentences.
