use a mortar & pestle to grind the solute into smaller particles, thus increasing the surface area.
Protons-19 because protons are equal to the atomic number which is 19 , electrons-19 electrons are equal to number of protons, neutrons-20 because the mass number of potassium is 39 so subtract 39 from 19 (atomic number) which gives us 20
It will form a Nitrate ion NO3-
Answer: I believe the 1st and 3rd reactions are better obtained through reference sources and the 2nd and 4th are easiest and safest to measure in the laboratory.
Explanation:
I am also working on this Pre-lab right now, and I looked back at the first question to help get my answer. In the first question (a), it is noted that ammonia gas and gaseous hydrochloric acid are both potentially dangerous in gaseous form. I saw that both the 1st and 3rd reactions contained noxious gases (I knew this because there was a (g) in both of these reactions). Using the knowledge from the first question that the noxious gases were potentially dangerous, I assumed that those reactions were the ones that are better obtained through the reference sources. The 2nd and 4th reactions did not contain any noxious gases, so I assumed those ones were easiest and safest to measure in the laboratory. Hope this helps!
