Explanation:

<h3>yes, Radioactive decay involves the emission of a particle and/or energy as one atom changes into another. In most instances, the atom changes its identity to become a new element.</h3>

In this case, the population has exceeded the available food, thus causing a decline in the population.

<h3>What is carrying capacity?</h3>

It is the maximum population size that an ecosystem can sustain based on the resources that it has.

Above the carrying capacity, resources become extremely limited and competition becomes stiff in the population. Thus, the population declines.

Below the carrying capacity, resources are abundant and the population grows. Most of the time, a mature population hovers around the carrying capacity of the ecosystem.

Answer: $OH^-(aq)+NH_4^+(aq)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

$KOH(aq)+NH_4NO_3(aq)\rightarrow KNO_3(aq)+NH_3(g)+H_2O(l)$

The equation can be written in terms of ions as:

$K^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)+NH_4^+(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)+NH_3(g)+H_2O(l)$

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are potassium and nitrate ions and hence are not involved in net ionic equation.

Hence, the net ionic equation is :

$OH^-(aq)+NH_4^+(aq)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+H_2O(l)$
