Some of the particles undergo a phase change and become a gas due to burning. An example would be CO2, which is lost in the air around/escapes into the atmosphere. Hope that helps!

Answer:The difference is found in the CO2 and water vapour, H2O, that escape to the atmosphere during combustion.

Explanation: Burning of logs is combustion reaction and the it can generally be represented by

CxHy + O2 === CO2 + H2O + Heat

This is a non reversible reaction because some of the constituents of the original log are being given off during combustion. Hence, the change in the mass.

After researching the possible effects of music, Elaina proposes that if people listen to faster-paced music, their pulse rates
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Elaina's scientific investigation is missing controlled variables.

Explanation:

A good scientific investigation should vary only the factor that is studied (the speed of the music. All other factors should be kept constant.

She hasn’t controlled for <em>volume</em>. The volume of the music may affect the rate at which the listener’s heart rate will increase. She should have measured each person’s pulse after the same period of listening.

She hasn’t controlled for <em>age</em>. A grandmother may respond to loud music differently from a teenager. All her subjects should be about the same age.

She hasn’t controlled for <em>wakefulness</em>. A person may respond to music differently when awake than when asleep.

Which of the following is a reasonable ground-state electron configuration?
Veronika [31]

Answer is: 1s22s22p5.

1) Electron configuration 1s²1p⁶2d², this is not reasonable because 1p and 2d oritals do not exist.

2) Electron configuration 1s²2s⁴2p⁶, this is not reasonable because s orbitals only contain 2 electrons.

3) Electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁵ is of an element fluorine. Fluorine (F) has atomic number 9, which means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons.

4) Electron configuration 1s²2s²2d⁶, this is not reasonable because 2d orbitals do not exist.
