Os pratos A e B de uma balança foram equilibrados com um pedaço de papel em cada prato e efetuou-se a combustão apenas do material contido no prato A. Esse procedimento foi repetido com palha de aço em lugar do papel. Após cada combustão observou-se:

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.

the answer is symmetrical : )
