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.

Answer:

c.boron-11

Explanation:

The atomic mass of boron is 10.81 u.

And 10.81 u is a lot closer to 11u than it is to 10u, so there must be more of boron-11.

To convince you fully, we can also do a simple calculation to find the exact proportion of boron-11 using the following formula:

(10u)(x)+(11u)(1−x)100%=10.81u

Where u is the unit for atomic mass and x is the proportion of boron-10 out of the total boron abundance which is 100%.

Solving for x we get:

11u−ux=10.81u

0.19u=ux

x=0.19

1−x=0.81

And thus the abundance of boron-11 is roughly 81%.

Which of the following actions would cause the volume of the chamber below to increase to 36.0 L?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option C. Triple the number of moles

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Where:

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of mole

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature.

Making V the subject of the above equation, we have:

PV = nRT

Divide both side by P

V = nRT / P

Thus, we can say that the volume (V) is directly proportional to both the number of mole (n) and absolute temperature (T) and inversely proportional to the pressure (P). This implies that and increase in either the number of mole, the absolute temperature and a decrease in the presence will cause the volume to increase.

Thus, the correct option is option C triple the number of moles. This can further be seen as illustrated below:

Initial volume (V1) = 12 L

Initial mole (n1) = 0.5 mole

Final mole (n2) = triple the initial mole = 3 × 0.5 = 1.5 mole

Final volume (V2) =?

From:

V = nRT / P, keeping T and P constant, we have:

V1/n1 = V2/n2

12/0.5 = V2/1.5

24 = V2/1.5

Cross multiply

V2 = 24 × 1.5

V2 = 36 L.

Thus Option C gives the correct answer to the question.
