Question 7 (4 points):

A) State the law of conservation of mass.






B) You burn 10kg of wood for a fire. When you are done, you gather up all the ashes and
burned out logs. You find that the remains weigh 8.5kg. How is this possible? Explain
what you believe happened.










C) If we burn the same 10kg of wood but we burn it in a closed system (nothing can enter
or leave). What will be the weight of all the ashes and the burned out logs?
