Hello, I see that you are studying Jan Baptist van Helmont, founder of pneumatic chemistry. I assume that you are studying gases and how plants work.

van Helmont, in his experiment studied the theory of how "plants grow while eating soil." Weird right? He put a willow tree in soil, but before doing that, weighted the soil. After 5 years of seeing the same mass of soil, he concluded that plants grew by drinking water.

So the answer would be:

- Plant mass is related to H₂O

- Conclusions partially correct.
