The reaction rate is the speed at which products form, based on the rate of the slowest step in the mechanism.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Rate of reaction is defined as the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs. That is, it tells how rapidly or slowly the products are formed.

Mathematically, Rate = $\frac{-\Delta [reactants]}{\Delta t}$

It also tells the number of successful collisions taking place.

Thus, we can conclude that the speed at which products form is measured by the reaction rate.

If the energy of photon emitted from the hydrogen atom is 4.09 x 10-19 J, what is

Aliun [14]

Answer:

486 nm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Energy (E) = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ J

Wavelength (λ) =?

Next, we shall determine the frequency of the photon. This can be obtained as follow:

Energy (E) = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Frequency (f) =?

E = hf

4.09×10¯¹⁹ = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × f

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ / 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 6.17×10¹⁴ Hz

Next, we shall determine the wavelength of the photon. This can be obtained as follow:

Frequency (f) = 6.17×10¹⁴ Hz

Velocity of photon (v) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Wavelength (λ) =?

v = λf

3×10⁸ = λ × 6.17×10¹⁴

Divide both side by 6.17×10¹⁴

λ = 3×10⁸ / 6.17×10¹⁴

λ = 4.86×10¯⁷ m

Finally, we shall convert 4.86×10¯⁷ m to nm. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m = 1×10⁹ nm

Therefore,

4.86×10¯⁷ m = 4.86×10¯⁷ m × 1×10⁹ nm / 1 m

4.86×10¯⁷ m = 486 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the photon is 486 nm

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. It is often called the

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case the answer would be

Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative side

Now since these negative and positives are present in the water molecule . In easy terms when a substance reacts with water .the negative part of water ( oxygen ) reacts with the positive part of the substance and the positive part of the water ( hydrogen) reacts with negative part of the substance .if you look at the reason . Water is held up by one of the strongest attraction forces available .since most substances have weaker attraction forces between them ,therefore water can easily overcome them with its forces. Thus giving it the ability to dissolve a variety of substances

The ion p3− has _____ protons and _____ electrons. enter your answers as integers separated by a comma.'

katrin2010 [14]

The symbol $P$ is for phosphorus having atomic number 15. That means it has $15 protons and 15 electrons$ in its neutral state.

The given symbol $P^{3-}$ has a -3 charge that means it has gained 3 electrons so, the number of electrons in the $P^{3-}$ is: $15+3 = 18$ . The number of protons will remain same that is the number of protons = 15.
