Hi everyone!
First of all let me say how happy i am that there is such a place where i can ask help with homework.
I am studing civil engineering and i am having problems with chemistry :frown: :shy:
I got homework to do and i finished all the tasks except this one and i would reallllyyyy be so gratefull for your help
Here is the task:

How much Al2(SO4)3 do you need for the process of sedimentation (to get residuum) of PO4 out of 25000L of waste water ?
Concentration of PO4 is 15mg/L

thanks again so much for your help :smile:

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...
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...
