After wood burns, the ash weighs much less than the original wood. Explain why the law of conservation of mass is not violated i

svlad2 [7]3 years ago

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass and energy according to thermodynamics is NOT violated. The ash of the wood weighs less than the initial wood because during the burning some of the mass was converted to gases that escaped into the atmosphere. Some of the carbon in the wood, for example, turned to carbon dioxide. Water in the wood also turned to gas (water vapour) and escaped.

If it is possible to capture all these gases and weigh them, then ideally it would be observable that the law of conservation is NOT violated.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum? a p e x
givi [52]

Answer:

- the electromagnetic spectrum is the range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by how much energy the radiation carries. there is an opposite relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy. as the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency and energy decrease, and vice versa.

- the order from longest wavelength (lowest energy) to shortest wavelength (highest energy) is as follows: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays and gamma rays.

A thin metallic spherical shell of radius 41.6 cm has a total charge of 8.55 μC uniformly distributed on it. At the center of th
Paul [167]

Answer:

E = 1.2443*10⁶ N/C

Explanation:

R = 41.6 cm = 0.416 m

Q₁ = 8.55 μC = 8.55*10⁻⁶C

Q₀ = 4.43 μC = 4.43*10⁻⁶C

r = 17.9 cm = 0.179 m

K = 9*10⁹ N*m²/C²

Since r < R  we can apply Gauss's Law as follows

E = K*Q₀ / r²

⇒  E = (9*10⁹ N*m²/C²)*(4.43*10⁻⁶C) / (0.179 m)²

⇒  E = 1.2443*10⁶ N/C

Consider the following reaction: CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g) Kp=2.26×104 at 25 ∘C. Calculate ΔGrxn for the reaction at 25 ∘C under eac
valentinak56 [21]

Answer : The value of \Delta G_{rxn} is, 8.867kJ/mole

Explanation :

The formula used for \Delta G_{rxn} is:

\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta G^o+RT\ln Q   ............(1)

where,

\Delta G_{rxn} = Gibbs free energy for the reaction

\Delta G_^o =  standard Gibbs free energy

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T = temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

Q = reaction quotient

First we have to calculate the \Delta G_^o.

Formula used :

\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K_p

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/mole.K)\times (298K)\times \ln (2.26\times 10^{4})

\Delta G^o=-24839.406J/mole=-24.83\times 10^3J/mole=-24.83kJ/mole

Now we have to calculate the value of 'Q'.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q=\frac{(p_{CH_3OH})}{(p_{CO})\times (p_{H_2})^2}

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Q=\frac{(1.4)}{(1.2\times 10^{-2})\times (1.2\times 10^{-2})^2}

Q=8.1\times 10^{5}

Now we have to calculate the value of \Delta G_{rxn} by using relation (1).

\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta G^o+RT\ln Q

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\Delta G_{rxn}=-24.83kJ/mole+(8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K)\times (298K)\ln (8.1\times 10^{5})

\Delta G_{rxn}=8.867\times 10^3J/mole=8.867kJ/mole

Therefore, the value of \Delta G_{rxn} is, 8.867kJ/mole

meriva

Answer:

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

Explanation:

Step 1

This equation is a nuclear reaction. So it can be an alpha decay or a beta decay

An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.

During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.

Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation that is showed.

A Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay
