AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the concentration of ions after the reaction between Ba(OH)2 and NiSO4, specifically aiming to find the concentrations of Ni2+ and SO42- ions. The initial concentrations of the reactants are established, and the stoichiometry of the reaction is applied, noting that Ba(OH)2 is the limiting reactant. After the reaction, the concentrations of Ni2+ and SO42- are both found to be 0.03629 M, while the concentrations of Ba2+ and OH- are negligible. An ICE chart is suggested for organizing the initial, change, and equilibrium concentrations, leading to the final calculations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of considering the solubility product constant to determine the final concentrations accurately.

While waiting for my other post to be moved, I'm putting this question up again.
25.00 mL of .1857 M Ba(OH)2 reacts with 30.00mL of .2228M NiSO4. Find the concentration of all ions after the reaction assuming that final volume is the sum of the initial volumes.
Ba(OH)2 + NiSO4 -> BaSO4 + Ni(OH)2
The answer is .03629M Ni2+ and .03629M SO42- [Ba2+] = [OH-] is about zero. How are these answers found? How would the concentrations change after the reaction? Please help. No specifics are needed just a general guide to figure this out. I may regret saying that. :redface:

-First find the initial concentrations.

-Use the reaction equation to account for stoichiometry, but first you'll need to consider the solubility constant of ____

-Using the solubility constant equation, find the final concentrations.
 
Okay, I get it now. Thanks for your help. To solve this I set up an ICE chart. Since Ba(OH)2 is the limiting reactant, all the moles of that will be used. So I would subtract those moles from the moles of the NiSO4 and divide that by .055 L (the total volume) to get the concentration. I don't have my book right in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that is what I did.

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...
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...
