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.

What is a closed glass container with earth in it for growing plants starting with terra?

A closed glass container with earth for growing plants starting with "terra" is called a terrarium. It creates a self-sustaining ecosystem as sunlight enters the container, and moisture is recycled through condensation within the enclosed environment, providing a unique and low-maintenance way to grow plants.


Why is it extremely dangerous to put dry ice in a closed container?

Dry ice sublimates (turns from solid into vapor) in natural pressure conditions: 1 atmosphere, 101.3 kPa, or 14.7 lbf. This can be seen by the phase diagram of carbon dioxide (see link) From there it follows the universal gas law: PV=nRT. The middle part of that equation can be ignored for simplicity. Pressure is directly related to temperature. At room temperature, the pressure of CO2 is 853 psi. Unless you have a very strong container, the first answer to this question is correct... because it will blow up!!! on mythbusters they did this in a pop bottle and it was a really big boom!


Will humidity increase with air pressure increase in a closed vessel?

No, humidity in a closed vessel will not increase with an increase in air pressure. Humidity is dependent on the amount of water vapor in the air, not the air pressure. The relative humidity will remain the same unless more water vapor is introduced.


Why is the boiling of water and the cooling of water vapor a reversible reaction?

In a closed system, water can be boiled until it produces water vapor (steam). If the steam is then condensed through a coil of tubing and collected in another container, the same volume of water winds up in the second container that you started with originally. An action created and then reversed to it's original point. Note that this is in a closed system.


A well-defined group of objects that transfer energy to one another?

A system is a well-defined group of objects that transfer energy to one another. This transfer can take place as a result of mechanical work, heat, or electromagnetic radiation within the system. Systems can be open, closed, or isolated depending on the exchange of matter and energy with their surroundings.

When a metal is burned in a closed container and its contents does not change what would this be consider as an observation a law or a theory?

This would be considered an observation. It is a direct result of a specific experiment or test, where the metal is burned in a closed container and the contents remain unchanged. It does not represent a law or a theory, which are more general principles or explanations about the natural world.


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

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


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.
