Explanation:
According to the law of the conservation of mass, 'mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. The mass cannot be created nor be destroyed in a chemical process'.
This law holds true for the burning of wood also. Although the wood burns to produce ash which weighs less than wood but also, it produces some soot and other gases and the sum of the masses of all these is equal to the sum of the masses of wood and oxygen that reacted with it.
Answer:
Anion
Explanation:
Anion is an atom or group of atoms that are negatively charged.
Cations are positively charged
Anode is a positively charged pole that conducts electricity (remember electrolysis)
Cathode is a negatively charged pole that conducts electricity (remember electrolysis too)
Large minerals are created from magma, when magma rises to the Earth's surface it cools slowly. As the magma cools, solid rocks form. Rocks are mixtures of minerals. Granite is a common rock that forms when magma cools. It contains the minerals quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar. The different colored speckles in the granite are the crystals of the different minerals. The mineral crystals are large enough to see because the magma cools slowly, which gives the crystals time to grow.
Small minerals are created from lava, since lava is on the Earth's surface so it cools quickly compared to magma on Earth. Hence, rocks form quickly and mineral crystals are very small. Sometimes, lava cools so hastily that crystals cannot form at all, forming a black glass called obsidian. Because obsidian is not crystalline, it is not a mineral.
NOTE: Minerals (and gems) are crystals.
