Reaction Speed

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the speed of a reaction, it's essential to understand the concepts of endothermic and exothermic processes. Endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions release heat, which can affect reaction rates. Providing specific details about the reaction in question is crucial for accurate assistance. Without context or additional information, it is challenging to offer meaningful help. Clear and detailed questions will lead to better guidance on the topic.

If you post a specific question as well as whatever you know about solving it, we can help you. Without a context, your question is meaningless - we need more input from you, if we are to help you.

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...
