1: The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to which of the following?
IrinaVladis [17]
I think the correct answer among the choices presented above is option C. The <span>atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in the nucleus. For a neutral atom, it is also the number of electrons since in a neutral atom protons and electrons are present in equal number.</span>

onsider the reaction, NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g), for which the rate law has been determined to be: Rate = k[NO2]2[CO]. Whi
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Rate of the reaction is a change in the concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time.

NO_2(g) + CO(g)\rightarrow NO(g) + CO_2(g)

Rate of the reaction:

R=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[CO]}{dt}

Rate of decrease in nitrogen dioxide concentration is equal to the rate of decrease in carbon monoxide.

Given rate expression of the reaction:

R = k[NO2]^2[CO]

Rate of the reaction on doubling concentration of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide : R'

R'=k(2\times [NO_2])^2(2\times [CO])=8\times k[NO2]^2[CO]=8R

Doubling the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide simultaneously will increase the rate of the reaction by a factor of eight.

Hence, none of the given statements are true.

Why is melting ice cream a physical?
worty [1.4K]

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.

How can the idea that different minerals are formed in different environments provide evidence for energy and matter cycling?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The importance of crystal structure. The graphite-diamond mineral pair is an extreme example of the importance of crystal structure. These two very different minerals have exactly the same chemical formula (C), but the crystal structure of the two minerals is very different. In graphite, carbon atoms are bonded together along a flat plane, as shown in Figure 3.
