Chemistry Confused by an exercise on the subject of chemical equilibrium

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around confusion regarding an exercise related to gas reactions and their concentrations in the context of chemical equilibrium. Participants clarify that the concentration of a gas in a mixture is similar to general concentration, defined as the number of moles per volume, and can be converted to partial pressure using the ideal gas law. The concept of "fugacity" is not relevant to the exercise, as it is not covered in the course material. Additionally, there is a request for clarification on the starting pressure for the calculations. Understanding these principles is essential for solving the exercise effectively.

Homework Statement
I assume that they talk about partial pressure and calculate it instead of the concentration .
Relevant Equations

Hello , i am a little confused about this exercise because we talk about gases reaction and we are asked about the concentrations
P.S : i have other questions that depends on your answer .
Thanks .

Are you familiar with the concept of "fugacity?"
 
no,this exercise is from the problem set of a course called "introduction to chemical equilibrium " and the concept of "fugacity" is not mentioned .

Concentration of a gas in a mixture is not much different from a concentration in general - just number of moles in a volume. Can be reasonably easily interconverted with the partial pressure.
 
From the ideal gas law, what is the starting pressure?

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...
