Why do ashes from fire have a much lower mass than the wood that was burned

Chemistry
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

because when you burn some wood you don't just get ash, you also get energies like thermal energy(heat), light and also some gaseous compound are produced (like CO2, SO2 etc) for the combustion reaction(a reaction where something is burnt in presence of O2). So the energy reserved in the wood are transformed into heat, light, other compounds and some turn into ash.

Which of the following has the most atoms per mole?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

e) Na₃PO₄

Explanation:

a) BaSO₄

1 mole of BaSO ₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of BaSO ₄ contain 1 atom of Ba one atom of S and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 6 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 6 atoms = 36.132 ×10²³ atoms

b) NaNO₂

1 mole of NaNO₂= 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of NaNO₂ contain 1 atom of Na one atom of N and two atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 4 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 4 atoms = 24.088 ×10²³ atoms

c)KMnO₄

1 mole of KMnO₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of KMnO₄ contain 1 atom of K one atom of Mn and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 6 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 6 atoms = 36.132 ×10²³ atoms

d) KCl

1 mole of KCl = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of KCl contain 1 atom of K one atom of Cl.

Total number of atoms = 2 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 2 atoms = 12.044 ×10²³ atoms

e) Na₃PO₄

1 mole of Na₃PO₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of Na₃PO₄ contain 3 atom of Na one atom of P and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 8 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 8 atoms = 48.176×10²³ atoms
