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.

ziro4ka [17]
In order to make the dissolution of the solid compound in water to occur at a faster rate, Samuel could do the following:
1. Break down the solid into tiny particles: breaking down the solid into tiny particles increases the surface area of the solid and thus increase the quantity of the substance that comes in contact with the solvent per time, this leads to a faster dissolution of the solid.
2. Stir the liquid with iron rod: Samuel can increase the dissolution rate of the substance by stirring it continuously with iron rod.
3. Increasing the temperature:Samuel could also increase the rate of dissolution of the substance by increasing the temperature of the water.
