Lee conducts an experiment to see if mass is conserved when a piece of charcoal is burned for 5.0 minutes. He measures the mass

of the charcoal before lighting it with a match. At the end of 5.0 minutes, Lee puts out the fire by suffocating it. After the charcoal has cooled, he measures its mass again. His data are below.
Initial Mass | Final Mass
.415 | .289

Charlene tries to repeat Lee's experiment by using a different piece of charcoal. But she burns the charcoal for just 3.0 minutes and collects all of the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal. She then weighs the total mass of these objects. Her results are below.
Initial Mass | Final Mass
.498 | .498
Charlene's experimental results indicate that mass was conserved. Why do Lee's results indicate that mass was not conserved?

He burned the charcoal for a longer period of time than Charlene did.

He did not collect the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal.

He forgot to measure the mass of the charcoal while it was still burning.

Mass is not conserved when an object undergoes a chemical change.

Charlene conserves mass by collecting "the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal", and Lee does not . . . so the answer is . .

<u><em> . . . He did not collect the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal.</em></u>

Calculate the final Celsius temperature when 634 L at 21 °C is compressed to 307 L.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

- 130.64°C.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = 634.0 L, T₁ = 21.0°C + 273 = 294.0 K.

V₂ = 307.0 L, T₂ = ??? K.

<em>∴ T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁ </em>= (307.0 L)(294.0 K)/(634.0 L) = <em>142.36 K.</em>

<em>∴ T₂(°C) = 142.36 K - 273 = - 130.64°C.</em>

Weathering of rock and sedimentation ultimately lead to the formation of___
Inga [223]
Weathering of the rock and sedimentation are decomposition processes. Through time, the minerals in the rocks soften due to pressure and heat. So, they crumble down and reduce in terms of size. Once they do, they become sand or part of the soil. So, the answer is A.
