This reaction appears to be destroying the logs. when it is over only ash will remain, the law of conservation of mass tells us

no mass is lost. how can you explain this?

The law of conservation tells us that no mass is lost. This is true because when wood burns or turns into ash, some of it is escaped as gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor into air . If we calculate the mass of these atmospheric gases that evolved when the wood turned into ash, we would find that the total mass of all these substances including the ash is equal to the log of wood.

Use the following half-life graph to answer the following question:
Temka [501]

Answer:

A 1.0 min

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioisotope is defined as the time it takes for the mass of the isotope to halve compared to the initial value.

From the graph in the problem, we see that the initial mass of the isotope at time t=0 is

m_0 = 50.0 g

The half-life of the isotope is the time it takes for half the mass of the sample to decay, so it is the time t at which the mass will be halved:

m'=\frac{50.0 g}{2}=25.0 g

We see that this occurs at t = 1.0 min, so the half-life of the isotope is exactly 1.0 min.

A weather balloon is operating at an altitude at which the density of air is 0.90 kg/m^3. At this altitude, the balloon has a vo
Archy [21]

Answer:

54 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces acting on the balloon.  Buoyant force pushing the balloon up, gravity pulling the helium down, gravity pulling the balloon skin down, and gravity pulling the load down.

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

B − Wh − Wb − L = ma

When the load is at a maximum, the acceleration is 0:

B − Wh − Wb − L = 0

B − Wh − Wb = L

B − mh g − Wb = L

The mass of the helium is its density times its volume:

B − ρh Vh g − Wb = L

Buoyant force is defined as B = ρVg, where ρ is the density of the displaced fluid (in this case, air), V is the volume of the displaced fluid, and g is acceleration of gravity.  Since the volume of displaced air = the volume of the helium:

ρa V g − ρh V g − Wb = L

(ρa − ρh) V g − Wb = L

Given that ρa = 0.90 kg/m³, ρh = 0.178 kg/m³, V = 20 m³, g = 9.8 m/s², and Wb = 88 N:

(0.9 − 0.178) (20) (9.8) − (88) = L

L = 53.5 N

Rounded to 2 sig-figs, the maximum load that can be supported is 54 N.

A block of iron at 33.0°C has mass 2.30 kg. If 3.50×104 J of heat are transferred to the block, what is its resulting temperatur
spayn [35]

Answer:

66.8°C

Explanation:

dQ = m*cp*dT where:

m = mass of block

cp = specific heat of iron

dT = temperature change

-------

dQ = 3.5 10^4 J

cp = 0.45 Kj / Kg = 450 J / Kg

3.5 10^4 = 2.3 * 450 * dt-----dt = 35000 / 450 * 2.3 = 33.8 °

-------

Final temperature = 33 + 33.8 = 66.8 °C
