How Do You Calculate the Equilibrium Constant for This Reaction?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the equilibrium constant (Keq) for a reaction, the formula Keq = Products/Reactants is used, but the terms can be misleading. It's more accurate to conceptualize the equation as (Right Side) / (Left Side) rather than strictly labeling components as products or reactants. This approach helps clarify the relationship between the concentrations of the substances involved in the equilibrium. The discussion also references an external site for further clarification on this topic. Understanding these nuances is essential for accurately determining Keq in equilibrium systems.

I attached the problem with this post. I know Keq= Products/Reactants

Is that what I would have to do here? Treat T as products and R as reactants?

In equilibrium systems the terms "products" and "reactants" are a bit of a misnomer.

Think of it instead as (Right Side) / (Left Side).
 

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...
