Question 26 2 pts You are camping with your friends and have been adding logs to the fire. As the logs burn, you observe that the logs are reduced to a pile of ash. Where did all of the mass of the logs go? The mass was transferred into heat. The cells simply compacted upon themselves, hence the same mass is still present in the ash, just more compacted. O The mass was turned into oxygen, because you need oxygen or a fire will not burn. The majority of the mass returned to the air as carbon dioxide.

Explanation / Answer

The cells simply cmpacted upon themselves, hence the same mass is still present in the ash, just more compacted.

This example depicts the law of conservation of mass. According to this law, matter can neither be created nor destroyed. When matter goes through a physical or chemical change, the total mass of matter remains the same.
