Answer:

Evaporated via combustion.

Explanation:

The loss on ignition (LOI) and Ash content are inorganic analytical techniques used to determine the percentage by mass of hydrocarbon in compounds. This process allows volatile matter and possibly impurities found in a material to evaporate, leaving behind the true chemical constituents of the material.

The 10kg lost could be moisture content of the tree, or other volatile matter which has escaped on combustion of the tree.

Calculate the concentration of an aqueous solution of naoh that has a ph of 11.50
Reika [66]
NaOH is a strong base and complete dissociation into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions. 
Therefore [NaOH] = [OH⁻]
To calculate the [OH⁻], we can first find the pOH as NaOH is a basic solution.
pH + pOH = 14
Since pH = 11.50
pOH = 14 - 11.50
pOH = 2.50
We can calculate [OH⁻] by knowing pOH 
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
therefore [NaOH] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M

How many moles of KNO3 are in 500 mL of 2. 0 M KNO3? mol KNO3.
8090 [49]

The moles can be defined as the mass of the substance with respect to molar mass. The moles of potassium nitrate is 1 mol.

<h3>How to calculate moles of a substance?</h3>

The moles of a compound can be calculated from:

\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass}

The molarity can be defined as the moles of solute in a liter of solution.

The molarity can be expressed as:

\rm Molarity=\dfrac{Moles\;\times\;1000}{Volume\;(mL)}

The molarity of potassium nitrate solution is 2 M, and the volume is 500 mL.

The moles of potassium nitrate is given as:

\rm 2\;M=\dfrac{Moles\;\times\;1000}{500\;mL}\\ Moles=\dfrac{2\;\times\;500}{1000}\;mol\\ Moles=1\;mol

The moles of potassium nitrate in 2 M, 500 mL solution are 1 mol.
