Evaporating.
This is because evaporation occurs for things such as water coming in contact with a heat source that cause molecules to run crazy and begin to go farther and farther apart, becoming steam and evaporation in the air.
Therefore, during the process of evaporation, molecules become less condensed.
Hope this helps!
The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:
Hg + S ------------- HgS
Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS
The given mass of Hg = 246 g
Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol
# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry,
# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles
Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol
Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g
39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS
Answer:
a.) The garden plants provide energy to all the other organisms. While not every organism consumes garden plants directly, every organism's food lineage can be traced to garden plants. For instance, while ground beetles do not directly consume garden plants, they do eat snails, and snails eat garden plants.
b.) The slug population might increase is the aphid population decreased because there would be less competition for food resources. Both populations consume garden plants, and there is only a finite number of garden plants. Therefore, there is a limit that each population can consume. If there were less aphids eating the garden plants, there would be more left for the slugs. Less starving slugs would lead to greater reproduction and thus a higher slug population.
