In a closed container the mass of reactants (wood) and products (carbon dioxide, water, ash) remain unchanged; this is the low of mass conservation.

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.


How do gases behave in a closed container?

Since you have specified a closed container, the amount of gas doesn't change, and the volume that it occupies doesn't change. The only thing that is likely to change is the temperature, and changes in temperature will cause corresponding changes in pressure. And if the pressure gets too high, your closed container is going to explode. So avoid overheating.
