While studying chemical reactions and conservation of matter, sarah's class conducted a variety of experiments. sarah and her lab partner found the mass of a wax candle and placed the candle in a flask. the students lit the candle and let it burn to completion. all that was left was wax and charred candle wick. per their teacher's instructions, the students found the mass of the products. their data can be seen in the data table. formulate a hypothesis the students could test to explain why the experiment did not support the law of conservation of matter. a) the students could repeat the experiment using different candles; there might have been a flaw in the candle. b) the experiment should be repeatable. the students should run several trials and then take an average of the after mass in each trial. c) the students should have someone in the class check their measurement skills as they repeat the experiment. they may have made an error using the balance. d) the students should burn the candle in a container that has some type of lid so that any gas that is a product of the reaction can be contained and massed. submit

The period of a pendulum varies directly as the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. find the period when the length is 144 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared, if the period is 7pi seconds when the length is 289 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared.

A47.2 g block of copper whose temperature is 480 k is placed in an insulating box with a 91.8 g block of lead whose temperature is 200 k. (a) what is the equilibrium temperature of the two-block system? (b) what is the change in the internal energy of the two-block system between the initial state and the equilibrium state? (c) what is the change in the entropy of the two-block system? the heat capacities of copper and lead are 386 j/kg·k and 128 j/kg·k, respectively.
