Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of phosphorus is equal to the atomic number of phosphorus, which is 15. If an atom of phosphorus has 17 neutrons, then the mass number would be 15 protons + 17 neutrons = 32. Thus, the correct answer choice here is B.

How many mL of a stock solution of 2.00 M KNO3 are needed to prepare 100.0 mL of 0.15M KNO3? with work plz

Tatiana [17]

Using the law of dilution :

Mi x Vi = Mf x Vf

2.00 x Vi = 0.15 x 100.0

2.00 x Vi = 15

Vi = 15 / 2.00

Vi = 7.5 mL

hope this helps!

2 H2 + 2 NO → N2 + 2 H2O the observed rate expression, under some conditions, is: rate = k[NO]2 Which of the following mechanism

guapka [62]

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants at constant temperature.

$Rate \propto [\text{concentration of reactant}]^{n}$

= k $[\text{concentration of reactant}]^{n}$

where, k = rate constant

n = order of reaction

For the given reaction, $2H_{2} + 2NO \rightarrow N_{2} + 2H_{2}O$

Hence, its rate will be as follows.

Rate = $k[H_{2}][NO]$

Also, it is known that slowest step in a chemical reaction is the rate determining step.

Hence, for the given rate law correct reaction is as follows.

Step 1 : $H_{2} + NO \rightarrow N + H_{2}O$ (slow)

Balancing this equation it becomes $H_{2} + 2NO \rightarrow N_{2}O + H_{2}O$ (slow)

Step 2: $N_{2}O + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2} + H_{2}O$ (fast)
