Confirming structure of aspartic acid at PH 4

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on confirming the structure of aspartic acid at pH 4. The user has calculated the isoelectric point (pI) and drawn a charged structure, seeking validation from others. It is noted that at pH 4, approximately 62% of aspartic acid exists in the -1 charged form, while about 37% is neutral. Concerns are raised regarding the placement of the proton on the amine group in the drawn structure. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately depicting the charged and neutral forms of aspartic acid at this pH level.

At pH 4 solution contains about 62% of -1 form, and around 37% of neutral form. But I doubt -1 form is the one you have drawn, I don't think proton is on the amine group.

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...
