A substance combines with oxygen and releases energy in the form of heat and light. Which of the following best describes this type of chemical reaction?

The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown below: reaction a: electrons are gained by the atoms of an element. reaction b: protons are lost by the atom of an element. which statement is true about the atoms of the elements that participate in the two reactions? their identity changes in both reaction a and reaction b. their identity changes in reaction a but not in reaction b. their identity changes in reaction b but not in reaction a. their identity remains the same in both reaction a and reaction b.

What effect would average population growth have on land usage? a. urban use of land would rise to more than 30 percent of available land. b. industrial use of land would rise to more than 30 percent of available land. c. the percentage of available land used as cropland would stay the same. d. cropland would fall to about 10 percent of available land.

Achemical reaction is done in the setup shown, resulting in a change of mass. what will happen if the same reaction is done in a sealed container that is placed on the electronic balance?
