Answer:
Green
Explanation:
Positive: A strong green color in the flame indicates the presence of halogens (chloride, bromide, iodide but not fluoride).
We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35%
of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it
can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be
the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent
the scenario is,
<span> x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>
<span> <em> </em><span><em>x =
3.575 g</em></span></span>
Because you are never adding more than the substances created, nor are you creating any, but should a chemical reaction take place you could see the liquid change form into a gaseous state and that would result a loss of the liquid volume.
So to wrap it all up you can’t have more liquids than what is already there but you could always lose some due to a chemical change, hence the reason it says an open flask, the chemical change would not be collected, mass would be lost
