False, as oceans can act as carbon sinks along with forests.
By direct heating of an element with oxygen : many metals and non-. metals burn rapidly when heated in oxygen or air producing their oxides e.g.
The percent composition of this compound :
Mg = 72.182%
N = 27.818%
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
9.03 g Mg
3.48 g N
Required
The percent composition
Solution
Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements
Total mass of the compound :
= 9.03 g + 3.48 g
= 12.51 g
The percent composition :
Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%
N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%
