Explanation:
Atomic number of copper is 29 and it is a d-block element.The electronic configuration of copper is as follows.
Electronic configuration of copper is
According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.
But completely filled d-shell is more stable in nature. Hence, one electron from the 4s shell goes into the d-orbital so the copper atom can attain stability.
So, when a copper atom loses an electron then it goes out from the 4s shell first.

Answer:
Explanation:
Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.
slow
fast
To determine the net chemical equation, we will simply add the above two equations, we get:
Order with respect to is 1 and Order with respect to
is 2.
Thus the rate law will be:
