What else can I help you with?
Is the mass of wood and oxygen that allow it to burn equal the mass of ashes and the gas given off during the burning?
Yes. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of all the reactants must be equal to the mass of all of the products.
Why mass is conserved during wood burning?
When wood is combusted it gives of carbon dioxide, water and some other products. Wood is a reactant and after being combusted it is changed into other products so matter is conserved it just changes from one form to another. Law of conservation of matter is important for many processes.
What is definition of mass conservation?
Mass Conservation is the scientific law that states that no substance, material, or atom can be destroyed, it can only change forms. Every experiment to this day, has supported this law. Even in reactions where substances seem to disappear, scientists have discovered that nothing is really "destroyed". For example, in the midst of a fire, the wood seems to disappear. But in fact, the complex carbon chains of wood are being broken down into carbon dioxide and water vapor, which are both gasses, therefore invisible to the eye. This gives the illusion that the wood is being destroyed but in reality the reaction is still governed by the Law of Mass Conservation.
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.
Burning wood a physical or chemical?
Burning wood is a chemical reaction because combustion (burning) is an oxidation reaction.
Does burning wood violate the law of conservation of energy?
No, nothing can violate the law of conservation of energy, it's a law! Energy can convert to mass, and mass can convert to energy, but the overall total of mass and energy in the universe is constant.
What is the law of conservation of matter using your own examples?
The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. For example, when wood burns, the wood is converted into ash, smoke, and gases, but the total mass of the wood before burning is the same as the total mass of the products after burning. This demonstrates the conservation of matter in action.
Is the mass of wood and oxygen that allow it to burn equal the mass of ashes and the gas given off during the burning?
Yes. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of all the reactants must be equal to the mass of all of the products.
When coal burns it leaves ash behind. Ash so produced is lighter than the coal which has burnt. Justify the decrease in mass in the light of law of conservation of mass.?
During combustion carbon dioxide and water are released; ash is only the residue.
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.
Why would a piece of wood loss mass when burn?
It would loose mass as it is being consumed by burning.
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.
Why mass is conserved during wood burning?
When wood is combusted it gives of carbon dioxide, water and some other products. Wood is a reactant and after being combusted it is changed into other products so matter is conserved it just changes from one form to another. Law of conservation of matter is important for many processes.
Burning wood in a fireplace is an example of what kind of energy conservation?
Chemical potential energy converting to heat energy -apex

Burning wood to heat your home is what kind of energy conservation?
If you are using a fire place instead of a heating system to heat your home, that would be energy conservation. Depending on how you heat your home (oil, gas, electricity, ect.) would be the exact type of conservation that you are using.
