AI Thread Summary
Benzylamine, C6H5CH2NH2, when dissolved in water, exhibits low conductivity, indicating it is a weak electrolyte. The dim light observed during testing suggests limited ionization in solution. Benzylamine behaves similarly to ammonia, which means it can form ammonium ions and hydroxide ions in water. The primary ions present are likely benzylammonium ions (C6H5CH2NH3+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). Overall, while benzylamine is an electrolyte, its ionization in water is minimal.

1. Benzylamine, C6H5CH2NH2 is dissolved in water and tested with a conductivity meter. The result is a dim light. Is this compound an electrolyte? If so, what are the ions?



2. I know that it's compound an electrolyte, but I don't know what are the ions in there.

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...
