If you were to burn a candle inside of a closed jar and the mass of the closed jar and candle was 50 grams to begin with, what would the mass of
the jar and smoke be after the candle is done burning?

50g

Explanation:

At the end of the burning process, the mass of the jar and smoke should be 50g after the candle burning is done.

In most systems, the law of conservation of matter finds expression. According to this law "matter is neither created nor destroyed but atoms are rearranged".

In this kind of system, no matter is allowed to escaped and the starting mass of the reactants compared to that of the product will be the same.

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
