The claims which are supported are :
A. Matter is conserved during the burning of wood.
C. Burning wood involves a series of chemical reactions that occur in one direction only.
E. Burning wood involves oxygen as well as carbon.
Explanation:
- Burning of wood involves wood reaction with oxygen in which carbon dioxide is released.
- When wood is heated, it results in production of a substance that reacts easily with oxygen leading to ignition of wood and its burning.
- Burning of wood is a type of thermal decomposition.
- Burning of wood releases energy in the form of heat.
- Once wood is burned it can not be reacted or changed back to wood. So, this reaction is considered as irreversible reaction, that occurs only in one direction.
- Matter is conserved during the burning of wood as a chemical reaction does not result in creation or destruction of matter.
