Pepper designs an experiment to demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass. She dissolves 25 g of salt into 100 g of water in a beaker. She heats the water to boiling until it is all evaporated and captures the steam. The salt is left behind in the bottom of the beaker. Pepper records her results in the table What number does Y represent and what conclusion can be drawn from her results? A
10 g; mass was lost due to the evaporation of water

B
16 g; mass was lost due to the evaporation of the water

C
10 g; mass was lost because mass is destroyed when a mixture is separated

D
16 g; mass was lost because mass is destroyed when a mixture is separated
