Answer:

The rest of the wood was converted to gases

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass on the reactant side must be equal to the mass on the product side. When wood is burned it forms ashes and gases. The mass of the ash plus gases must be equal to the mass of the wood and air used in burning it.

If 3g of wood were burned and the ashes produced weighs 1.2g, it means that the rest 1.8g have been converted to gases

ddd [48]
The reaction between HNO3 and Ba(OH)2 is given by the equation below;
2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 = Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O
Moles of Barium hydroxide used;
 = 0.200 × 0.039 l
 = 0.0078 Moles
The mole ratio of HNO3 and Ba(OH)2 is 2: 1
Therefore; moles of nitric acid used will be;
= 0.0078 ×2 = 0.0156 moles
But; 0.0156 moles are equal to a volume of 0.10
The concentration of Nitric acid will be; 
 =  (0.0156 × 1)/0.1 
 = 0.156 M

AURORKA [14]

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction,the reaction shifts forward.

The explanation is given below.

Explanation:

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased,then the equilibrium will shift to decrease the temperature.

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is decreased,then the equilibrium will shift to increase the temperature.

During the formation of the ammonia,it gives off heat.So it is an exothermic reaction.

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

A decrease in the temperature favors the reaction that is exothermic (the forward reaction)because it produces energy.Therefore,if the temperature is decreased,the yield of the ammonia increases.

<em>Therefore if the temperature is increased,the reaction shifts forward and the yield of the ammonia increases and it is an exothermic reaction.</em>
