The mass number plays an important role for elements and their isotopes. Mass number comes from the addition of protons and neutrons (their weight). Isotopes are the elements, but with a different number of neutrons. So in turn, by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass, you can find the number of neutrons.

If in the following diagram the substance is in the solid state during stage 1, what is happening during stage 2?

Iteru [2.4K]

If in the following diagram the substance is in the solid state during stage 1, during stage 2 the substance is boiling or condensing .
Boiling is the term used to describe the rapid vaporization of a liquid. Boiling occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point.
Condensation happens when the gas is changed into liquid.

How might an increasing population of robins positively and negatively affect a community?

Oliga [24]

All populations of living things are interrelated. When one population of animals, plants, or insects increase or decrease, other populations of living things are also affected. For example, when shrubs and brushy areas are removed from an ecosystem, the rabbit population will likely go down. The reduced rabbit population will lower predator populations that use rabbits as a food source.

In another example, let's assume all the dead hollow trees are removed from a forest ecosystem. Cavity nesting animals such as bluebirds, nuthatch, wrens, screech owls, squirrels and woodpeckers have very little, if any, shelter available. The number of animals of this type would be reduced. Insect populations could increase because of fewer insect eating birds and trees and other plants could be negatively affected. The whole ecosystem is affected.

The amount of suitable habitat for a species of wildlife will determine the number of animals that can survive in the area. Human activity has the greatest impact on the amount and quality of wildlife habitat in Illinois. Wildlife habitat can be destroyed or its quality diminished as a result of urban sprawl, agricultural practices, pollution, sedimentation, or habitat fragmentation.

People can also have a positive impact on wildlife populations through improvement and protection of habitat or ecosystems. The planting of trees and shrubs, as well as wildlife food plots, in the appropriate locations is one way landowners can improve wildlife habitat. People can protect ponds, streams, rivers and wetlands from sedimentation by reducing soil erosion on lands surrounding these aquatic ecosystems. Nesting boxes placed in ecosystems that lack dead, hollow trees will enhance the habitat for cavity nesting animals. There are many things people can do to improve habitat for wildlife.

There are a number of natural resource management agencies in Illinois that can help people enhance and protect wildlife habitat. Listed below are a few of the public agencies which can provide ecosystem management expertise to people in Illinois.

What is the sequence of coefficients that will balance the following decomposition reaction of dihydrogen monosulfide? H₂S ----&

RUDIKE [14]

8 S

In this case you must start balancing the sulfur to have 8 on each side of the reaction. So:

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

Then, you must balance the chemical equation. For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts.

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

Then, taking into account all of the above, you can determine the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 2 H and 1 S

Right side: 2 H and 8 S

In this case you must start balancing the sulfur to have 8 on each side of the reaction. So:

8 H₂S → H₂ + S₈

Now the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 16 H and 8

Right side: 2 H and 8 S

Now you need to start balancing the hydrogen to get the same amount from each side of the reaction. So:

8 H₂S → 8 H₂ + S₈

Now the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 16 H and 8

Right side: 16 H and 8 S

The balanced reaction is:

8 H₂S → 8 H₂ + S₈
