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 nature of the Ca-Cl bond in a molecule of calcium chloride (CaCl2) if the electronegativity value of calcium is 1.0
nevsk [136]
Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

He could be blindfolded and know which was his and which was his sister's. All he would need to do is pick them both up and if they were too big then pick them up one at a time. The lumber might make it harder to tell, but this is a question about physical properties.

So there is a change in mass which for the purpose of this question should be  quite different. His sister's ought to be much lighter than his. He would find it easier to pick up.

Copper(II) sulfide is oxidized b molecular oxygen to produce gaseous sulfur trioxide and solid copper (II) oxide. The gaseous pr
Tasya [4]

Explanation:

Copper(II) sulfide reacts with oxygen gas to give solid copper(II) oxide and sulfur trioxide gas.

The reaction is given as:

CuS+2O_2\rightarrow CuO(s)+SO_3(g)

When 1 mol copper(II) sulfide react with 2 moles of oxygen gas it gives 1 mol of solid copper(II) oxide and 1 mol of sulfur trioxide gas

The gas formed in above reaction that is sulfur trioxide reacts with water to give sulfuric acid or hydrogen sulfate.

The reaction is given as:

SO_3(g)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2SO_4(aq)

1 mol of sulfur trioxide gas reacts with 1 mol of liquid water to produce 1 molo of liquid hydrogen sulfate or sulfuric acid
