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.

How was the periodic law rearranged to become the periodic table, and what is its purpose?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

At earlier times elements were arrangrd on the basis of their atomic masses to study their properties easily but there were various problems like isotopes needs different position in perodic table.

After discovery of atomic number modern periodic table was created on the basis of atomic number (number of proton) that is unique for each element and varies regularly. So study of a group of elements is much easier than each element seperately that is why modern periodic table was formed.

Sphinxa [80]
The answer is B. Commensalism.

<span>Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms in which only one of them has benefit, and the other one is not affected. In this example, the Great Burdock's plants spread their seeds using animals, so they benefit from this relationship. On the other hand, animals neither have benefits not are harmed from the relationship.</span>
