AI Thread Summary
To write the equation for acid-base neutralization, identify the reactants, typically an acid and a base, such as H2SO4 and NaOH. The reaction produces water and a salt, which in this case would be Na2SO4. The balanced equation for this neutralization is H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O. Understanding the products formed is crucial for writing the correct equation. This process can be simplified by researching common reactions online.

The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
First, figure out what products of reaction are obtained. There is one very common substance usually produced. Can you name it? The other substance produced will be composed of what is left over.

Hint: You know you can google a lot of this information, don't you?
 
Thanks for responding, but I understood how to do it now. Thanks anyway :)
 

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...
