AI Thread Summary
To find the volume of a rectangular block with dimensions 2.9 cm x 3.5 cm x 10.0 cm, multiply the length, width, and height, resulting in a volume of 101.5 cm³. The density is calculated by dividing the mass of the block, 615.0 g, by its volume. This gives a density of approximately 6.06 g/cm³. It is important to show units in calculations to avoid confusion. Understanding these calculations is essential for solving similar problems in physics and engineering.

How should you find the volume of that rectangular block? You do know how to calculate the volume of a cube or rectangular box, right?

And density is just mass per volume. So once you have the volume in cubic cm, you can calculate the density in grams per cubic cm. Give it a go and show your work (and keep showing the units in your calculations to help keep things straight)...

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
