Hi!~~

Menthol, with chemical formula C10H20O, is a common compound used in medicine, often natural ones.

The safest way to check for the presence of menthol should be to use your hand. You would waft the substance's fumes toward your hands.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The rate of consumption of NH_{3} is 2.0 mol/L.s

Explanation:

Applying law of mass action to this reaction-

-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=-\frac{1}{3}\frac{\Delta [O_{2}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [N_{2}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

where -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of consumption of NH_{3}, -\frac{\Delta [O_{2}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of consumption of O_{2}, \frac{\Delta [N_{2}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of formation of N_{2} and \frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t} represents rate of formation of H_{2}O.

Here rate of formation of H_{2}O is 3.0 mol/(L.s)

From the above equation we can write-

-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

Here \frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}=3.0 mol/(L.s))

So, -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{4}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

Hence, -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{4}{6}\times 3.0 mol/(L.s)=2.0 mol/(L.s)

The negatively charged particles of an atom are the
posledela

Answer:

Electron: A negatively charged particle found circling or orbiting an atomic nucleus. An electron, like a proton is a charged particle, although opposite in sign, but unlike a proton, an electron has negligible atomic mass. Electrons contribute no atomic mass units to the total atomic weight of an atom.
