When wood burns it makes 1 ash and 2 CO and so law of conversation matter wouldn't be violated as the ash + the smoke each would have a fraction of the original matter from the wood

Answer:

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter is also called the law of conservation of mass or the Law of Lomonósov-Lavoisier. This law postulates that "the mass is not created or destroyed, only transformed." This means that the reagents interact with each other and form new products with physical and chemical properties different from those of the reagents because the atoms of the substances are ordered differently. But the amount of matter or mass before and after a transformation (chemical reaction) is always the same, that is, the quantities of the masses involved in a given reaction must be constant at all times, not changing in their proportions when the reaction ends. In other words, then the mass before the chemical reaction is equal to the mass after the reaction. The exception to the rule is nuclear reactions, in which it is possible to convert mass into energy and vice versa.

When the wood burns, it is combined with oxygen and a smaller amount of ashes is obtained. But the combustion of wood not only generates ashes but also releases other substances that "escape" in the smoke generated by combustion. These substances are CO₂ and H₂O, which as mentioned are also produced when the wood is burned.

Then, by adding the mass of the ashes plus that of the smoke, the result would be equal to the initial mass of the wood and oxygen. The total mass of matter after burning the wood would be the same as the total mass of matter before burning. In this way the law of conservation of mass is not violated.

Some forms of vitamin D, C₂₈H₄₄O, can be found in red meat. How many total atoms are in 5 molecules of C₂₈H₄₄O
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

3.01 × 10^24 atoms of vitamin D

Explanation:

The number of atoms, molecules or ions present in a substance is given by the Avogadro's number which is 6.02 × 10^23.

Hence;

1 molecule of vitamin D contains 6.02 ×10^23 atoms

5 molecules of vitamin D contains 5 × 6.02 ×10^23/1

= 3.01 × 10^24 atoms of vitamin D

A solution of NaOH has a concentration of 25.00% by mass. What mass of NaOH is present in 0.250 g of this solution? Use the peri
meriva
The concentration of NaOH is 25.00% by mass, it means that 25.00% of the mass of the solution is of NaOH. Hence:

m_{NaOH}=25.00\%\times m_{solution}\Longrightarrow m_{NaOH}=\dfrac{25}{100}\times 0.250~g\iff\\\\\boxed{m_{NaOH}=0.0625~g}

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP:!!!!What characteristics of water make it essential for life and a useful chemical in the formation of soluti
Sliva [168]
Special properties of water are its high heat capacity and heat of vaporization, its ability to dissolve polar molecules, its cohesive and adhesive properties, and its dissociation into ions that leads to generating pH. Understanding these characteristics of water helps to elucidate its importance in maintaining life.

Will give brainlist need answers asap
Serga [27]

Answer:

40 g

Explanation:

Find the line labeled KClO3 (which might take you a min, theres a lot of lines here)

Notice that when the line creates a direct point, you can measure the exact temperature needed to dissolve a certain amount (like how they gave 30 degrees and it lined up perfectly with the 10 g line. )

Since its asking for the amount at 80 degrees, all you need to do is trace the line to the 80 degree point, and look at the grams. (notice it made a direct point, so there definitely should be any decimals or guesswork)

By reading the graph, you can tell that at 80 degrees, it dissolves 40 grams, and that is your answer.

Hope this helps :)
