When wood burns, some of the mass is released as a gas. So if you were to combine the small fraction of ash with the gases released, you would get the mass of the original wood.
Natalija [7]4 years ago

Explanation:

Burning wood leaves an ash which is a small amount of original mass of wood because when we burn wood, large amount of wood is converted into carbon dioxide and water vapor. In complete combustion, there would be no ash remaining, because all the fuel have been consumed completely. When we sum up the mass of gasses released in burning and the ashes we get the original mass.

How does mass affect heat absorbed
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the transferred heat is equal to the change in the internal energy, the heat is proportional to the mass of the substance and the temperature change. The transferred heat also depends on the substance so that, for example, the heat necessary to raise the temperature is less for alcohol than for water.  Hope that helps!:)

Between nitromethane (CH3-NO2) and methyl nitrite (CH3-0-NO), which has the higher boiling point? Explain the reason in less tha
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

CH_3NO_2 has higher boiling point

Explanation:

CH_3NO_2 has higher boiling point because in CH_3NO_2 , NO_2  has a very strong dipole and we know that whenever there is dipole-dipole interaction then boiling point increases. On the other hand in CH_3-O-NO the NO group has not so strong dipole which weakens its boiling point

So the boiling point of CH_3NO_2 is higher than the boiling point of  CH_3-O-NO

What maximum amount of ammonia in kilograms can be synthesized from 5.22 kg of h2 and 31.5 kg of n2? express your answer in kilo
Dominik [7]
<span>Answer: Equation: N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) Check for limiting reactant Molar mass N2 = 28g/mol mol N2 in 31,500g = 31,500/28 = 1,125 mol N2 This will require 1,125*3 = 3,375 mol H2 Molar mass H2 = 2g/mol Mol H2 in 5,220g = 5,220/2 = 2,610 mol H2 The H2 is limiting From the equation: 3 mol H2 will produce 2mol NH3 2610 mol H2 will produce 2610*2/3 = 1,740 mol NH3 Molar mass NH3 = 17g/mol Mass of 1740 mol NH3 = 1740*17 = 29,580g NH3 produced Mass of NH3 produced = 29.6kg</span>
