<h3>Answer:</h3>

             This atom has 80 protons, 120 neutrons and 80 electrons.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Number of Protons:

                               As the number of protons present in the nucleus are equal to the atomic number therefore. As given, the atomic number is 80 therefore, Hg contains 80 protons respectively.

Number of Electrons:

                                 As given in statement, Hg is not carrying any type of charge. It means this atom is neutral in nature. Which means, it is carrying the same number of electrons as the number of protons in order to give a neutral atom. Therefore, it contains 80 electrons.

Number of Neutrons:

                                 Number of neutrons can be calculated using following formula,

                  No. of Neutrons  =  Atomic Mass - Number of Protons

As,

                                    Atomic Mass  =  200

So,

                                    No. of Neutrons  =  200 - 80

                                    No. of Neutrons  =  120

Explain what will happen to the organisms that is affected by human activities.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Human activity is by far the biggest cause of habitat loss.

Humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats. ... Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

Explanation:

Human activities are the various actions for recreation, living, or necessity done by people. For instance it includes leisure, entertainment, industry, recreation, war, and exercise.

Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity, weakening the Earth's ecosystems, and ultimately posing a major threat to human life. While, significant tracts of habitat have been lost, and along with them many species of plant and animal, steps can be taken to slow and even reverse the process.

One of the most significant ways in which humans have impacted on the lives of other species is by causing climate change. Many animals, including birds and frogs, now breed much earlier in spring in Britain than they did 20 years ago. Whether or not this is having a harmful effect on them has yet to be determined.

In the following reaction, how many liters of o2 will produce 43.62 liters of co2 at stp? c3h8 5 o2 3 co2 4 h2o
antoniya [11.8K]
The balanced chemical reaction:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

We are given the amount of the carbon dioxide to be produced. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

<span>43.62 L CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 22.4 L CO2 ) (5 mol O2 / 3 mol CO2 ) ( 22.4 L O2 / 1 mol O2) = 72.7 L O2</span>
