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.

What happens to the rock along the ridge when new molten material erupts?
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span>The molten material then spreads out, pushing the older rock to both sides of the ridge. As the molten material cools, it forms a strip of solid rock in the center of the ridge. Then more molten material flows into the crack. The material splits apart the strip of solid rock that formed before, pushing it aside. Hope this helps! (:</span>

If an element has an atomic number of 8 and an atomic mass number of 18, would it be an isotope? Why or why not?
hoa [83]

Answer:

It would be an isotope.

Background Information:

Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Explanation:

If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.
