Engineers and chemists designing explosives for mining find that the reaction is occurring too quickly to be safe, yet it is not effectively fracturing the rock. Explain how the explosives and the process could be modified to decrease the
reaction rate of the explosion (2-3) sentences

For a research project, a student decided to test the effect of the lead(ii) ion (pb2+) on the ability of salmon eggs to hatch. this ion was obtainable from the water‐soluble salt, lead(ii) nitrate, which the student decided to make by the following reaction. pbo(s) + 2 hno3(aq) → pb(no3)2(aq) + h2o losses of product for various reasons were expected, and a yield of 86.0% was expected. in order to have 5.00 g of product at this yield, how many grams of pbo should be reacted? (assume that sufficient nitric acid, hno3, would be used.)
