Which conditions relate to the research of van Helmont?

plant mass related only to soil
conclusions partly correct
demonstrated plant food from soil
conducted around 1400 A. D.
plant mass related to H 2O

Hello, I see that you are studying Jan Baptist van Helmont, founder of pneumatic chemistry. I assume that you are studying gases and how plants work.

van Helmont, in his experiment studied the theory of how "plants grow while eating soil." Weird right? He put a willow tree in soil, but before doing that, weighted the soil. After 5 years of seeing the same mass of soil, he concluded that plants grew by drinking water.

So the answer would be:

- Plant mass is related to H₂O

- Conclusions partially correct.
