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.

why might you find fossil evidence of both an ocean and a forest at different depths in the same location??
skad [1K]

Answer:

The fossil evidence of both an ocean and a forest can be found at different depths in the same location because there might have been a presence of both an ocean and a forest at the same location at different times in the history of Earth.

Explanation:

It is clear from various studies that the Earth has had a diverse geologic history in which events like drastic climate changes, upsurging of oceans, rapid desertification, etc., have taken place many times.

Thus, the possibility of an ocean and forest having shared a single location at different times in the history of Earth cannot be neglected.

Most reactions speed up when
miss Akunina [59]
For a reaction to occur, there should be mobility of ions in reactant side.
If the reactant is larger, its mobility will be lesser than that of smaller ones.
So reactants smaller in size have higher mobility which makes reaction faster.

Hence D is the correct option.

Hope this helps, have a great day/night ahead!
