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.

Answer is: A. Chemical energy to electromagnetic energy and thermal energy.  

Balanced chemical reaction: 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s) + energy.

This is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substance (magnesium oxide MgO) is formed, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change (exothermic reaction because energy is released).

Chemical changes (chemical synthesis) is when a substance combines with another (in this example magnesium and oxygen) to form a new substance.

What is the hydronium ion concentration of a solution with a pOH of 7.20?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

[H⁺] = 1.58 x 10⁻⁷ M.

Explanation:

∵ pOH = - log[OH⁻]

7.20 = - log[OH⁻]

log[OH⁻] = - 7.20

∴ [OH⁻] = 6.31 x 10⁻⁸.

∵ [H⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

∴ [H⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/(6.31 x 10⁻⁸) = 1.585 x 10⁻⁷ M.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

A titration

Explanation:

A common example of a titration is when we have an acid of unknown concentration, so we add a known volume of a base of known concentration. This process lets us determine the concentration of the acid.

By definition, a titration is a quantitative analysis, as we determine how much of an analyte is there in a sample. However, <u>there are quantitative analyzes which are not titrations</u>. This is why the most appropiate answer is<em> a titration</em>.
