Answer:

disagree

Explanation:

Cellulose (main component of wood beside lignin) is composed from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with the following molecular formula  (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₓ (where x is the degree of condensation of beta-glucose units which are the basic monosaccharide of the cellulose polysaccharide).

Now when you burn cellulose you obtain carbon (ashes), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water  (H₂O). Of course, beside the main products we may have other by-products but we consider them in very low quantity.

The difference between 3 kg of starting wood and 500 g of ashes is representing the quantity of carbon dioxide (CO₂)  and water (H₂O) formed.

We have to say that CO₂ and H₂O are in gaseous state and escape in the atmosphere.

The law of conservation of mass is always valid.

J. Explain how an atom's valence electron configuration determines its place on the periodic table.​
Darya [45]

Answer:

Elements having same valence electrons are placed in <u>same group.</u>

Explanation:

First, let's start with some basic concepts of modern periodic table:

1. Modern Periodic table : It is the arrangement of element in the increasing order of their atomic numbers

The Modern periodic table is divided into Periods and groups .

Periods : These are the horizontal rows. There are seven periods in the periodic table . Period 1 has 2 element. Period two and three has 8 elements , period 4 and 5 have 18 elements and the period 6 and 7 have 32 elements.

Same period have same number of atomic orbital(Shell)

Group : The group is the vertical columns . There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table.Those element which have same group number will also have same number of electron in their outermost shell. The number of electron in the outermost shell determines the valency of the element.

So, elements showing same valency are placed in same group.

All alkali are place in group 1 and have 1 valance electron in the outermost shell

A 225-g sample of aluminum was heated to 125.5 oc, then placed into 500.0 g water at 22.5 oc. (the specific heat of aluminum is
Sidana [21]
when  heat gained = heat lost 

when AL is lost heat and water gain heat

∴ (M*C*ΔT)AL = (M*C*ΔT) water

when M(Al) is the mass of Al= 225g 

C(Al) is the specific heat of Al = 0.9 

ΔT(Al) = (125.5 - Tf) 

and Mw is mass of water  = 500g

Cw is the specific heat of water = 4.81 

ΔT = (Tf - 22.5) 

so by substitution:

∴225* 0.9 * ( 125.5 - Tf) = 500 * 4.81 * (Tf-22.5)

∴Tf = 30.5 °C
