Dissolving an Unknown Acid Salt - Weak Acids?

AI Thread Summary
Dissolving an unknown acid salt proves challenging, as it is insoluble in water at standard temperature and pressure (STP) but dissolves with heat and stirring. This raises questions about whether this behavior is typical for weak acids. Most weak acids are organic and exhibit varying solubility, with some being miscible and others weakly soluble. The discussion concludes that the observed solubility characteristics are not necessarily representative of all weak acids. Understanding the solubility of weak acids requires consideration of their diverse properties.

i'm trying to dissolve an unknown acid salt and it is not soluble in water at stp. it does dissolve, however, when it undergoes heat and some stirring. is this property representative of most weak acids, that they are not easily miscible in water?

Most weak acids are organic substances - some are miscible, some are weakly soluble. I don't think it is a "representative property" of weak acids as such.

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...
