A 100 kg tree gets struck by lightning and is burned completely to ash. A scientist gathers up all the ash and weighs it to find

only 90kg there. Where did the other 10kg go?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
6 0

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.

A sample of gas initially has a volume of 2.25 L at 350 K and a pressure of 1.75 atm. What will be sample pressure if the volume
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

8.44 atm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2.25 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 350 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 1.75 atm

Final volume (V₂) = 1 L

Final temperature (T₂) = 750 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The final pressure of the gas can be obtained as illustrated below:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.75 × 2.25 / 350 = P₂ × 1 / 750

3.9375 / 350 = P₂ / 750

Cross multiply

350 × P₂ = 3.9375 × 750

350 × P₂ = 2953.125

Divide both side by 350

P₂ = 2953.125 / 350

P₂ = 8.44 atm

Thus, the final pressure of the gas is 8.44 atm.

10. Well into the twentieth century, many scientists believed the ocean floor was A. rocky. B. round. C. flat. D. sandy.
Murljashka [212]
<span>In the 20th century, the scientist believed that the floor of the ocean floor is flat. But later on discovered that their theory is wrong. The ocean floor is not flat and featureless. One technology helped the scientist to study in advance and in details the real feature of the ocean floor. They used sound waves to know the distance of the water from floor level to the top. They also discovered that ranges of mountains lies under the ocean. Sonar was one of the technologies they used to study the sound waves emitted by the ocean. Hope i was helpful :)</span>
