Chemistry in a Bag!

Calcium chloride reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce calcium carbonate (a solid) along with some other substances.  Today, you performed the experiment in the baggie.  Did you notice any temperature changes?  Did you notice anything about the volume of the contents of the baggie? How did the mass of the material before the reaction compare to the mass after the reaction?
