An electron can often be removed from an atom because it is
a. negative.
b. not attracted to the nucleus of the atom it surrounds.
c. affected by friction since the attraction to the nucleus is sometimes not very strong.
d. other nearby electrons will pull it off an atom if they get too close to the electron.

For the reaction, 4 a(g) + 3 b(g) => 2 c(g), the following data were obtained at constant temperature. experiment initial[a],mol/l initial [b],mol/l initial rate,m/min 1 0.200 0.150 5.00 2 0.400 0.150 10.0 3 0.200 0.300 10.0 4 0.400 0.300 20.0 which of the following is the correct rate law for the reaction? 1. rate = k[a]2[b]2 2. rate = k[a][b] 3. rate = k[a]2[b] 4. rate = k[a][b]2
