No - most of its mass will be converted to carbon dioxide, water vapor and a few other chemicals. Think about a fire... all that's left afterwards is the ashes, which don't weigh nearly as much as the wood that went into the fire originally. All that weight has been turned into gases which carried away in the air.

When wood is burned how does the mass of products compare with mass of reactants?

When wood is burned, the mass of the products (such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ash) is equal to the mass of the reactants, which include the wood and oxygen. This is in accordance with the law of conservation of mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Although the physical form of the substances changes, the total mass remains constant throughout the reaction.


When wood is burned in a closed container its mass does not change law theory or observation?

That is a law, specifically the law of conservation of mass. This states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical change. This was proved in Lavosier's experiment where he determined that the total lass of the products formed by burning were equal to the mass of the matter burned and oxygen consumed.

When wood is burned in a closed container its mass does not change is that observation or law?

Why does the wood turn black when you burn it?

When wood is burned, the carbon in the wood combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide, leaving behind black carbon residue known as charcoal. This is why the wood turns black when burned.


How can wood be burned without using a torch?
