AI Thread Summary
To find enthalpy, the key formula is H = Hproducts - Hreactants, which calculates the change in enthalpy during a reaction, indicating if it is exothermic or endothermic. Understanding that enthalpy is a state function is crucial, as it depends on the initial and final conditions of the materials involved. It is also important to consider the internal energy of the reactants and products. Utilizing multiple sources, such as textbooks and reputable online resources, can provide clearer insights into the concept of enthalpy. Exploring various materials can enhance comprehension and clarify any confusion regarding the topic.

Please HELP!

I am stuck on how to find enthalpy. I have looked through my book front to back, and I have searched the web, and I can't seem to find out how to find enthalpy other the H=Hproduct -Hreactant formula, which doesn't make sense to me either.

Your equation finds the change in enthapy in a reaction, which relates to whether the system is exothermic or endothermic (heat is released or required for the reaction to occur.) You should be able to find something about how enthalpy is a state function and therefore relates to the conditions that the materal is at initially and finally, and maybe about what internal energy is in the initial/final materials. Try to "wikipedia" enthalpy and see if that helps you... but of course because this is an online source, verify whatever you find by other sources, maybe find another book at the library and check it out for a few weeks (some texts cover different subjects better than others, after years of schooling, I look up some things in one text, others in another).
 

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...
