Does anyone know the chemical formula of cheese?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the difficulty of finding a specific chemical formula for cheese, as it is a complex mixture of various compounds rather than a single substance. The original poster is seeking information to create a presentation, expressing frustration at the prospect of defaulting to a more common topic like ionization energy. Suggestions include exploring natural products chemistry and focusing on components like casein and lactose found in milk. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the complexity of cheese composition and the challenges in isolating its chemical makeup. The original poster seems resigned to changing their presentation topic due to the lack of concrete information.

I'm interested in trying to find this out because I'm wondering if i could artificially make it from school materials...also i want to do a presentation on it tommorow, if i can't find the relevant information I'm going to have to do my presentation on ionisation energy, which is easy, and which everyone already knows...so it will be boring for us all...help me?! please :confused:

maybe even milk?
 
Or apples? Or dirt? Or roast beef? You are talking about mixtures, solutions, suspensions, gels, sols of many compounds, most of which have not been isolated, identified, and characterized, and of the interactions of those compounds with each other and with the interfaces among the various sol, gel, and solution phases.

You can browse "natural products chemistry" for interesting tidbits, look at "casein" one of the proteins in milk and its uses, commercial preparation of milk sugar (lactose), suspension of fats and oils in water, but you ain't going to find a chemical formula for cheese.
 
Oh i see...looks like i'll just do the presentation on ionisation energy then :-p

Thanks for bothering to reply though

Seems like two rather unrelated projects.

What else are you allowed to present on?

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...
