AI Thread Summary
When ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is added to water, it dissolves but does not produce a simple chemical reaction like the one proposed (NH4NO3 + WATER = NO2H + HNO3). Instead, the dissolution process involves the dissociation of ammonium nitrate into ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions in solution. This process is endothermic, meaning it absorbs heat from the surroundings, which can lead to a decrease in temperature. The provided link discusses the calorimetry of the heat of solution for ammonium nitrate. Overall, the primary outcome is the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water rather than a new chemical reaction.

If i added ammonium nitrate with water, what is the chemical equation?

is it
NH4NO3 + WATER = NO2H + HNO3

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...
