The particulates left from combustion have the same mass as the substance that was burned.

It may seem as though burning destroys matter, but the same amount, or mass, of matter still exists after a campfire as before. Look at the sketch in Figure below. It shows that when wood burns, it combines with oxygen and changes not only to ashes but also to carbon dioxide and water vapor.

HOPE THIS HELPS

False

Explanation:

The particulates left behind have more mass than the substance that was burned because they form compounds with the oxygen during the oxidation process.

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml

the answer is minerals.
