Which part of the atom is so small it contributes very little to the mass of an atom

sasho [114]

My part of the atom, I'm guessing you are referring to the protons, neutrons, and electrons.

The smallest of these three is the electron.

Using the balanced equation N2+O2=2NO, how many grams of NO can be produced when 25.0 grams of N react?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

$53.55gNO$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given chemical reaction, it is possible for us to calculate the produced grams of nitrogen monoxide by starting with 25.0 g of nitrogen via their 1:2 mole ratio and the molar masses of 30.1 g/mol and 28.02 g/mol, respectively and by some stoichiometry:

$=25.0gN_2*\frac{1molN_2}{28.02gN_2}*\frac{2molNO}{1molN_2}*\frac{30.01 gNO}{1molNO}\\\\=53.55gNO$

Best regards!

1. How does protein substance in animal hide or skin be preserved from bacterial infection during tanning?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1. By being cured

2. To remove the silica impurities from haemetite

3. The cathode will be bronze while the anode will be the silver

4. i) Wastes from industrial processes

ii) Waste waters and sewage

iii) Dumping of wastes into water bodies

5) Three methods to reduce air pollution includes

i) Promote the use of recycled of materials

ii) Promote and use renewable sources of energy

iii) Limit activities that involve the burning of fuels such as encouraging the use of mass transit buses, preventing the occurrence of fires in forests

Explanation:

1. In order to preserve the proteins in the hides of animal skin from putrefaction they are cured with salt to remove by, osmotic pressure difference, the water content present in the animal hide

2. To remove the silica impurities from haemetite

The calcium oxide obtained from the decomposition of calcium carbonate undergoes a chemical reaction with the sand impurities in the mineral, haematite, to form calcium silicate or s l a g

3. Electroplating involves charging the metal to be electroplated negatively that is making it the cathode and placing it in an electrolytic cell that has a solution of the metal ions containing the metal salts

Therefore, the bronze medal to be plated with silver will be made the cathode while the silver from which we obtain the silver ions will be made the anode

4. Three causes of water pollution includes

Wastes from industrial processes

Waste waters and sewage

Dumping of wastes into water bodies

5. The major causes of air pollution are the oxides produced from the combustion of fossil fuels such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide as well as chemical gases from industrial processes.

Which factors can influence the length of time it takes for a half-life to occur?

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

the radioactive half-life of an atom can depend on how it is bonded to other atoms. by changing the neighboring atoms that are bonded to a radioactive isotope, we can change its half-life.

Consider the mechanism. Step 1: A+B↽−−⇀CA+B↽−−⇀C equilibrium Step 2: C+A⟶DC+A⟶D slow Overall: 2A+B⟶D2A+B⟶D Determine the rate la

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

rate = k[A][B] where k = k₂K

Explanation:

Your mechanism is a slow step with a prior equilibrium:

$\begin{array}{rrcl}\text{Step 1}:& \text{A + B} & \xrightarrow [k_{-1}]{k_{1}} & \text{C}\\\text{Step 2}: & \text{C + A} & \xrightarrow [ ]{k_{2}} & \text{D}\\\text{Overall}: & \text{2A + B} & \longrightarrow \, & \text{D}\\\end{array}$

(The arrow in Step 1 should be equilibrium arrows).

1. Write the rate equations:

$-\dfrac{\text{d[A]}}{\text{d}t} = -\dfrac{\text{d[B]}}{\text{d}t} = -k_{1}[\text{A}][\text{B}] + k_{1}[\text{C}]\\\\\dfrac{\text{d[C]}}{\text{d}t} = k_{1}[\text{A}][\text{B}] - k_{2}[\text{C}]\\\\\dfrac{\text{d[D]}}{\text{d}t} = k_{2}[\text{C}]$

2. Derive the rate law

Assume k₋₁ ≫ k₂.

Then, in effect, we have an equilibrium that is only slightly disturbed by C slowly reacting to form D.

In an equilibrium, the forward and reverse rates are equal:

k₁[A][B] = k₋₁[C]

[C] = (k₁/k₋₁)[A][B] = K[A][B] (K is the equilibrium constant)

rate = d[D]/dt = k₂[C] = k₂K[A][B] = k[A][B]

The rate law is

rate = k[A][B] where k = k₂K
