When wood burns, the mass of the ash is less than the mass of the original wood. Yet the law of conservation of matter says that

mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. How do you reconcile the result of burning with this law? (Page 112).

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.

What is the pressure in a 5.00 L tank with 49.00 grams of oxygen gas at 350 K? ___atm
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The right answer is "8.81 atm".

Explanation:

Given:

V = 5.00 L

Mass = 4900 g

MW = 32 g/mol

T = 350 K

Now,

Number of moles will be:

n = \frac{Mass}{MW}

   =\frac{49.00}{32}

   =1.53125 \ mole

By using the ideal gas equation, we get

⇒ PV=nRT

or,

⇒    P=\frac{nRT}{V}

By substituting the values, we get

           =\frac{1.53125\times 0.0821\times 350}{5.00}

           =\frac{44.1}{5.00}

           =8.81 \ atm

Potassium permanganate as a symbol
Alexxx [7]

Answer: KMnO4-

Explanation:

You're looking at one potassium plus a polyatomic ion.

So K plus MnO4, equals:

KMnO4-

It also has a molar mass of 158.04 g/mol, I don't know if you need that, but I thought it would be nice to include it.
