Lee conducts an experiment to see if mass is conserved when a piece of charcoal is burned for 5.0 minutes. He measures the mass of the charcoal before lighting it with a match. At the end of 5.0 minutes, Lee puts out the fire by suffocating it. After the charcoal has cooled, he measures its mass again. His data are below.Initial Mass | Final Mass
.415 | .289

Charlene tries to repeat Lee's experiment by using a different piece of charcoal. But she burns the charcoal for just 3.0 minutes and collects all of the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal. She then weighs the total mass of these objects. Her results are below.
Initial Mass | Final Mass
.498 | .498
Charlene's experimental results indicate that mass was conserved. Why do Lee's results indicate that mass was not conserved?

He burned the charcoal for a longer period of time than Charlene did.

He did not collect the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal.

He forgot to measure the mass of the charcoal while it was still burning.

Mass is not conserved when an object undergoes a chemical change.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Charlene conserves mass by collecting "the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal", and Lee does not . . . so the answer is . .

 . . . He did not collect the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal.
Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

Lee's results indicate that mass was not conserved because he did not collect the gases produced when the charcoal was burned, unlike Charlene who collected all byproducts of the burning process. Charlene's results align with the Law of Conservation of Mass which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, but can change form.

Explanation:

The apparent discrepancy between Lee's and Charlene's results arises from the way they conducted their experiments. Lee's results indicate a lower final mass because he did not collect the gas and dust released by the burning charcoal. When charcoal burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction that produces gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapour. These gases escape into the air and are thus no longer part of the 'system' being measured. As a result, the system seems to 'lose' mass, which is actually just transformed into another form and released into the environment.

On the other hand, Charlene collected all of the byproducts (including the gases) of the burning charcoal, therefore ensuring that all the matter initially present remained within the system being measured. That's why her results indicate that mass was conserved — which is consistent with the Law of Conservation of Mass stating that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time. The mass does not change shape or location in space, even during chemical reactions.

How does Silicon shape our technological reality

Answers

Silicon shapes our technological reality because computer chips are made out of silicon. Different computer parts, are made out of silicon chips, tablets, phones, different electronic devices, everything has some silicon in them. Without silicon we would (currently) not have any of those. That is how silicon shapes our technological reality :)

The silicon uses in :


1- Micro-chips.


2- Motherboards


3- components on nano-technologies


4- tablet


5- Phones


The explanation:


- When the silicon incorporated into electronics, They are termed as silicon wafers. It is used as a semiconductor.


- And when it combined with the other conductors this process called doping and become ideal to make transistors and be able to amplify electric signals.


That's how Silicon shape our technological reality.

Which physical properties would be the same as a substance’s melting point?A. boiling point
B. specific heat
C. freezing point
D. solubility

Answers

C. The freezing point would be the same as the melting point, because both are phase changes between solid and liquid.
melting point: a temperature where a substance would turn from solid to liquid
freezing point: a temperature where a substance would turn from liquid to solid

therefore, these two are equivalent.
