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>

How does the molecular formula of a compound differ from the empirical formula? Can a compound’s empirical and molecular formula
Y_Kistochka [10]
Molecular is every element present in the compound eg C2H6, empirical is the smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound so that would be CH3 as you divide by the highest common factor. Some compounds only have 1 formula if they are simple or have no common factors. Eg methane, CH4 is its molecular and empirical because its the simplest whole number ratio and includes every element in the molecule
