Ron filings are placed on a scale. as the filings rust, the scale measures an increasing mass. how does the law of conservation of mass apply to these results? a. the law does not apply because a physical change occurred. b. the law applies because the volume of the iron was conserved. c. the law applies, but all reactants and products must be accounted for. d. the law does not apply because a chemical change occurred.

C. The law applies, but all reactants and products must be accounted for.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of the matter is a law in physics that states that whem a reaction takes place you can not create more matter than the matter that already exists, so in this case the mass is increasing because it is recting with the oxygen in the environment so that´s why the mass is increasing, in this case the law applies but you have to take into account all the reactants which should include the oxygen in the environment.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.
