AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between equilibrium constants and concentrations in a chemical equation. The equation provided is a + b = c + d, with an equilibrium constant (k) of 5.44 and initial concentrations of 1 mole each for a, b, c, and d in 1 liter. The concentration of "a" is confirmed to be 1M, clarifying that the term "balance coefficient" likely refers to the equilibrium constant. Participants express confusion about the terminology but agree on the concentration's straightforward calculation. Overall, the conversation emphasizes understanding equilibrium constants in relation to chemical concentrations.

there is a a+b=c+d
the balance coefficient of k=5.44
the is a solution of 1 mole of a
1 mole of b
1 mole of c
1 mole of d
in 1 Litter volume

what is the concentration of "a"
??

No idea what balance coefficient is. Perhaps you mean equilibrium constant?

Note that question - as worded - has an obvious answer. The concentration of a is 1M.
 
you are right its equilibrium constant

how you get this solution?
 

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...
