* * Finding unknown acid concentration

AI Thread Summary
To determine the unknown concentration of an acid, a titration procedure is recommended, involving a known volume of the acid and a suitable indicator. The process includes gradually adding a base until the endpoint is reached, which indicates neutralization. Standardization of the base is crucial for accurate results, typically achieved by titrating it against a primary standard. Participants emphasize the importance of precise measurements and proper technique to ensure reliable data. This method effectively allows for the calculation of the acid's concentration.

*urgent* Finding unknown acid concentration

Homework Statement


Construct an experimental procedure in in order to determine the unknown concentration of an acid. Be sure to describe the standardization process.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I think a viable procedure could be to have a set amount of the acid and an indicator
and add base until an endpoint is reached. not sure please help fast :S

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...
