    Acid Value
AI Thread Summary
Alkalinity measured as hydroxide ions (OH-) and free acid value as acetic acid (CH3OOH) cannot be directly converted to the same unit due to differing chemical properties and testing methods. pH can serve as a common ground for comparison, as it reflects the concentration of protons and hydroxide ions in a solution. However, the relationship between these values is complex, and direct comparison may not yield meaningful results. Understanding the specific context and application of each measurement is crucial. Accurate interpretation requires knowledge of the underlying chemistry involved.

i hv some problems , could anybody suggest me . does alkalinity ( as OH- ) and free acid value ( as CH3OOH ) can we convert any of them to be the same unit ? as i want to compare it is the same value or not but one it's show in OH and another one show it CH3OOH. or we could not compare as it's different testing method ?
Thanks

I'm not sure what your after here but pH could be used to compare the concentrations of protons (or oxonium ions) and hydroxide ions.

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...

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...
