Sodium has 11 protons, therefore number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

Sodium has 12 neutrons.

<h3>What are neutrons?</h3>

The neutron is a subatomic particle with the symbol n that is slightly heavier than a proton and has a neutral charge (i.e., neither a positive nor a negative charge). Atoms' nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are both referred to as nucleons because of how similarly they function inside the nucleus and because they both have masses that are about equal to one atomic mass unit. Nuclear physics describes their characteristics and interactions.

The arrangement of electrons around an atom's hefty nucleus largely determines its chemical characteristics. The amount of protons, or atomic number, determines the charge of the nucleus, which determines the electron configuration.

Nitrogen monoxide, NO, reacts with hydrogen, H₂, according to the following equation.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer : The rate law for the overall reaction is, $Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]$

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

As we are given the mechanism for the reaction :

Step 1 : $2NO+H_2\rightarrow N_2+H_2O_2$ (slow)

Step 2 : $H_2O_2+H_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$ (fast)

Overall reaction : $2NO+2H_2\rightarrow N_2+2H_2O$

The rate law expression for overall reaction should be in terms of $NO\text{ and }H_2$ .

As we know that the slow step is the rate determining step. So,

The slow step reaction is,

$2NO+H_2\rightarrow N_2+H_2O_2$

The expression of rate law for this reaction will be,

$Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]$

Hence, the rate law for the overall reaction is, $Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]$

30g of naoh is dissolved in 1.5 liter solution the active mass of naoh is?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.5mol/L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the number of mole NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Mass of NaOH from the question = 30g

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole = 30/40 = 0.75mol

Volume = 1.5L

Active mass = mole/Volume

Active mass = 0.75mol/1.5L

Active mass = 0.5mol/L

22. Radon has a half-life of 3.83 days. How long will it take a 225 g sample to decay to 14.06 g? (3pts.)

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

15.32 days

Explanation:

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

Half-life (t½) = 3.83 days

Original amount (N₀) = 225 g

Amount remaining (N) = 14.06 g

Time (t) =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 225 g

Amount remaining (N) = 14.06 g

Number of half-lives (n) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

14.06 = 225 / 2ⁿ

Cross multiply

14.06 × 2ⁿ = 225

Divide both side by 14.06

2ⁿ = 225 / 14.06

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 3.83 days

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =.?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 3.83

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 3.83

t = 15.32 days

Therefore the time for 225 g sample of Radon to decay to 14.06 g is 15.32 days
