AI Thread Summary
To calculate the density of lithium metal, the formula D=m/V is used, where D is density, m is mass, and V is volume. The mass of the cylindrical wire is given as 0.3624g. To find the volume, the dimensions of the wire, specifically its diameter of 2.40mm and length of 15.0cm, must be used to calculate the volume of a cylinder. Once the volume is determined, density can be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Understanding how to derive volume from the given dimensions is crucial for solving the problem.

You're given the dimensions of the rod, you can calculate the volume.
 

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...

Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
