Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)

Atomic mass is also known as atomic weight. The mass number is a count of the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

what is the effect of using higher concentration of sodium hydrogen carbonate on the rate of reaction?

Alex

Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction. This occurs because a higher concentration of a reactant will lead to more collisions of that reactant in a specific time period.

Reaction rate increases with concentration, as described by the rate law and explained by collision theory. As reactant concentration increases, the frequency of collision increases. The rate of gaseous reactions increases with pressure, which is, in fact, equivalent to an increase in concentration of the gas.

7.26 of a hydrate, Cu(NO3)2.xH2O, formed 2.4 g copper(II) oxide.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Number of moles= mass/ molar mass

Or n=m/MM

n = number of moles

m = mass

MM = molar mass

1) n CuO = 2.4g / 79.54g/mol = 0.03 mol CuO

2) n Cu(NO3)2.xH2O = 7.26 g / 205.6 = 0.035 moles of Cu(NO3)2.xH2O

3) 205.6 g

Cu = 63.5 g

N = 14g

O =16g

H= 1 g

63.5+ (14+(16*3))*2+1*2+16 =205.6 g

4) yes is 188g

5) I don’t know, I assume was 1

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)
