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

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.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons to itself. On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group.

Which do you think will cool down faster in? The teaspoon of water or the cup of water? Why?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

I think the teaspoon will cool down faster.

Explanation:

The teaspoon of water will cool down faster because it is a smaller amount of water so the entire [drop] will absorb heat energy faster.

Which substance can not be broken down by a chemical change
Marina CMI [18]
A substance that cannot be broken down into even by chemical means is called an element. About 90 elements on the Periodic Table can be found naturally on Earth. Three of the most common ones are aluminium, silicon and oxygen.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more specific answer as your question wasn't multiple choice.

What os the formula for hexaboron tetrabromide
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

B6Br4

Explanation:

Chemical formula gives a representation of the number of atoms that each element in a compound or molecule. In this question which is asking to give the formula of hexaboron tetrabromide, the hexa means 6 while the tetra means four.

Since the number of atoms of each element is written as a prefix before the main element, this means that the chemical formula of hexaboron tetrabromide will be B6Br4.

Need help please! Theres three parts to this that I don't understand at all
butalik [34]

Answer:

Chemical reaction B governs the process

Explanation:

The first part of the question asks to convert the mass of the calcium carbonate given to number of moles.

Mathematically;

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100 g/mol

So the number of moles of CaCO3 will be 2.49/100 = 0.0249 moles

The second part of the question asks to convert the mass of carbon iv oxide to moles of carbon iv oxide

Mathematically;

That is same as ;

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol

Number of moles of CO2 = 1.13/44 = 0.0256 moles

Now, if we compare the values of these number of moles, we can see that there are almost equal.

What this means is that the number of moles of calcium carbonate reacted is equal to the number of moles of carbon iv oxide produced.

So what we conclude here is that we have an equal mole ratio between the two compounds.

So the reaction that would be the correct answer will present equal number of moles of carbon iv oxide and calcium carbonate

Thus, we can see that reaction B is the one that governs this process as it is the only reaction out of the three options that present the two compounds with equal number of moles.
