Suppose a logs mass was 5kg. After burning, the mass of the ash is 1 kg. Explain what may have happened to the other 4kg?

Well, we know that mass is conserved, so the missing 4 kg couldn't
just disappear. It had to go somewhere.

It may have left the burning log in the form of hot gases and smoke particles.

"In a pure substance all the particles must be identical; therefore pure substances are composed only of elements." Do you agree

I do not agree with the statement.
The "substance" can be a compound. It's "pure"
as long as there's nothing else in it but its name.

'Pure' water is 100% H₂O with nothing else in it.
'Pure' table salt is 100% NaCl with nothing else in it.
'Pure' carbon dioxide is 100% CO₂ with nothing else in it.

These example substances are all compounds, not elements.
