Explain different ways you could increase the reaction rate, and/or decrease the reaction rate

Read the given expression. x = number of protons − number of core electrons which of the following explains the identity of x and its trends across a period? x is the effective nuclear charge, and it remains constant across a period. x is the screening constant, and it remains constant across a period. x is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period. x is the screening constant, and it increases across a period.

Nitric acid can be formed in two steps from the atmospheric gases nitrogen and oxygen, plus hydrogen prepared by reforming natural gas. in the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: (g) (g) (g) in the second step, ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric acid and water: (g) (g) (g) (g) calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest .

In a ball-and-stick molecular model, what do the sticks represent?
