Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom. Changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would form d

ifferent isotopes of the same element. Which of these BEST describes the outcome of decreasing the number of protons in the nucleus?

By changing the number of protons in an element, you are fundamentally changing it to a different element.

It’s worth remembering that:

Protons identify the element

Electrons determine properties and behavior of the element

Neutrons contribute to isotopes and just help keep everything stable, by separating the charges. Remember opposites attract. Like charges repel.

What are the units of k in the following rate law?Rate = k[X]s/MM/s1/s1/MsMs
amm1812

Answer:

Units of k = s^{-1}

Explanation:

According to the law of mass action, the rate of a reaction is determined as the product of the active concentration of the reactant each raised to their experimentally determined coefficients which are known as order.

So, given that:-

Rate = k [X]

Rate of the reaction is also, the change in the concentration per unit time. So, the units of rate of a reaction is :- M/s

Units of [X] = M

So,

k=\frac{Rate}{[X]}=\frac{M/s}{M}=s^{-1}

Units of k = s^{-1}

Write the ionization equation for hypochlorous acid, HClO, dissolved in water.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

HClO (l)  →  H⁺ (aq)    +       ClO⁻ (aq)

                 proton   and    hypochlorite.

Explanation:

HClO (Hypochlorous acid)

This is a weak acid that can be dissociated as this:

HClO (l)  →  H⁺ (aq)    +       ClO⁻ (aq)

                 proton   and    hypochlorite.

It is a weak acid, so it can adopt a Ka for its equilibrium

HClO +  H₂O  ⇄   H₃O⁺   +  ClO⁻          Ka

Molar mass = 52.46 g/m

Which of the reactions below are catalyzed? Check all that apply.
Verdich [7]

Answer:

B. Salt, NaCl, is produced by the process of evaporation of seawater or brine. If the surface area of the water is increased, the same volume of water evaporates faster.

C. The Haber process combines hydrogen and nitrogen to make ammonia. The two gases are passed through a reactor under pressure and at high temperatures. If iron is added to the reactor, the yield of ammonia increases.

Explanation:

Evaporation of water is responsible for the production of sodium chloride also known as table salt. Sodium and chlorine are present in water. When more evaporation of water occurs, sodium and chlorine come close together forming sodium chloride. Haber process is responsible for the production of ammonia which is used as fertilizer. For speed up the process, catalyst is used such as iron in order to complete the reaction in less time. Iron binds hydrogen and nitrogen with each other.
