Rabbits are eaten by predators such as foxes and wild dogs. If rabbit number decline predators ( foxes ) compete for the rest of the resources in forest. This is the competition between the members of same species or : interspecific competition. Foxes compete for the same resource ( rabbits ).
Answer: Interspecific competition.
1. Answer;
Copper (ii) carbonate.
The name of the compound CuCO3 is copper (ii) carbonate.
Explanation;
Cu is the chemical symbol for the copper and CO3 is the chemical symbol for the carbonate group and each one of them has valency of two. Therefore, a compound CuCO3 is formed.
2. Answer;
Yes
Ca2+ reacted with Na2S to form CaS and Na+
Explanation:
Calcium ions reacts with sodium sulfide to form calcium sulfide and sodium ions.
For example; a salt of calcium, calcium carbonate reacts with sodium sulfide to form sodium carbonate and calcium sulfide.
3. Answer;
NaCl and Ag+ do not form a product
Explanation;
The reaction between sodium chloride and silver metal will not take place. This is because silver (Ag) is less reactive than sodium metal and therefore cannot displace sodium from its salt. In other words, silver metal is lower in the reactivity series as compared to sodium metal which indicates sodium metal is more reactive than silver.
4. Answer;
Formation of a white precipitate ; this indicates that silver sulfide is insoluble in water.
Explanation;
When an aqueous solution containing Ag+ ions is added to aqueous solution of sodium sulfide (Na2S), there will be formation of white precipitate. Formation of white precipitate indicates that a reaction has taken place to form a water insoluble compound. The water insoluble compound occurs as a precipitate. The white precipitate is silver sulfide (Ag2S)
2 Ag+ (aq) + Na2S(aq) ----- Ag2S (s) + 2 Na+ (aq)
The formula of the compound is XY. This means that the relation between the moles is 1: 1. One mole of X per one mole of Y.
From the information about the element X you can determine the number of moles of X (which is the same that the number of moles of Y).
# of moles of X = weigth of X / atomic mass of X = 17.15 g / 22.9 g/mol = 0.74598
Now the atomic mass of Y = weight of Y / # of moles of Y = 14.17 g / 0.74598 mol = 19 amu
Answer : The number placed in front of
should be, three (3).
Explanation :
Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.
The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

This chemical reaction is an unbalanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of chloride and sulfate ion are not balanced.
In order to balanced the chemical reaction, the coefficient 3 is put before the
, the coefficient 2 is put before the
and the coefficient 3 is put before the
.
Thus, the balanced chemical reaction will be,

Therefore, the number placed in front of
should be, three (3).
