AI Thread Summary

To prepare a 0.5M solution of FeCl3•6H2O crystals, first, understand that 0.5M refers to a molarity of 0.5 moles of solute per liter of solution. Calculate the required mass of FeCl3•6H2O based on its molar mass, which is approximately 270.3 g/mol. For a 0.5M solution, you would need to dissolve 135.15 grams of the crystals in enough water to make a total volume of 1 liter. Ensure to mix thoroughly until fully dissolved. Following these steps will yield the desired concentration.

Sorry if this is a dumb or noob question, but I have some FeCl₃•6H₂O crystals, and I want a 0.5M solution. How do I do it?

Short answer: weight and dissolve.

Longer answer: do you know what 0.5M means?

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
