Dry ashing refers to the use of a muffle furnace capable of maintaining temperatures of 500–600°C. Water and volatiles are vaporized, and organic substances are burned in the presence of oxygen in air to CO 2 and oxides of N 2. Most minerals are converted to oxides, sulfates, phosphates, chlorides, and silicates. Hope this helped!
“Metal ions are typically smaller than their corresponding neutral atoms”
Answer) Smaller
Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic compounds.

<span>In elastic deformation, strain is recovered when stress is removed, but in brittle deformation, the object fractures.

In brittle rocks, the failure point is very close the yield strength, and so can only accommodate very little strain before failure. Ductile rocks have a failure point that is much higher than the yield strength, and so can accommodate permanent strain before failure.
According to Henderson–Hasselbalch Equation,
pH = pKa + log [Lactate] / [Lactic Acid]
As,
Ka of Lactic Acid = 1.38 × 10⁻⁴
pKa = -log Ka
pKa = -log 1.38 × 10⁻⁴
pKa = 3.86
So,
pH = 3.86 + log [0.10] / [0.13]
pH = 4.74 + log 0.769
pH = 4.74 - 0.11
pH = 4.63
