A reaction in a flask produces a gas. The flask is connected by an airtight tube to a gas syringe. The flask stands on a balance, but the gas syringe rests on the bench. The balance reading falls as gas enters the syringe.
Which change to the experiment would keep the balance reading constant during the reaction?
Using a gas syringe with a wider barrel
Replacing the connecting tube with a shorter tube
Putting the flask and gas syringe together on the balance
Taking balance readings at shorter time intervals
