Calcium carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid in an open flask on a balance. The balance reading falls by 0.44 g in the first 3 minutes and then stays constant. Which statement best explains these results?

[1]
A

Carbon dioxide particles are destroyed as the reaction takes place.

B

Carbon dioxide leaves the flask, and after 3 minutes no more is made.

C

Calcium carbonate dissolves, so its mass is no longer on the balance.

D

Hydrochloric acid evaporates from the flask while the reaction happens.
