It decreases i guess. just make sure,though i'm mostly correct.
The wood turns into ash and smoke so mass is nor destroyed or created.
Explanation:
what you have to do is to multiply the given grams with the ratio of grams of that certain element in it's full compound in order to isolate the compound and get the element.
because the question did not specify how many grams of NO2 is formed, we can assume that the mass is neglegible, thus 1 mole was assigned to Nitrogen.
Answer is: 25,06 kJ of energy must be added to a 75 g block of ice.
ΔHfusion(H₂O) = 6,01 kJ/mol.
T(H₂O) = 0°C.
m(H₂O) = 75 g.
n(H₂O) = m(H₂O) ÷ M(H₂O).
n(H₂O) = 75 g ÷ 18 g/mol.
n(H₂O) = 4,17 mol.
Q = ΔHfusion(H₂O) · n(H₂O)
Q = 6,01 kJ/mol · 4,17 mol
Q = 25,06 kJ.
