AI Thread Summary
To calculate the mass of magnesium sulfate in a 500 mL stock solution of MnSO4, the density of the solution is essential, as mass equals density multiplied by volume. Clarification is needed on how the magnesium sulfate solution was prepared, including the mass of magnesium sulfate monohydrate and the amount of water used. Additionally, it's important to know if the volume of the final solution was measured. Understanding these details will aid in accurately determining the mass of magnesium sulfate present. Accurate calculations depend on these preparation specifics.

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...
