Question

an apple placed in a sealed container has a mass of 160 grams. what would the mass of the apple be after 6 weeks of decomposition? 190g 130g 160g

Explanation:

Step1: Law of conservation of mass

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a closed system.

Step2: Analyze the situation

The apple is in a sealed container (a closed system). Decomposition is a chemical process, but in a closed system, the total mass of the substances involved (apple and decomposition products) remains the same.

Answer:

160 g
