AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the formation of an amide through the condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an amine. Participants clarify that the original question likely intended for a detailed reaction mechanism rather than just a structural representation of an amide. The correct approach involves identifying the reactants (carboxylic acid and amine) and the product (amide), along with labeling them appropriately. There is encouragement for further attempts to illustrate the reaction accurately. Understanding the condensation process is essential for grasping amide formation.

I assume that the question was meant to read, "Show a reaction to produce an amide. Label all reactants and products."

What you have shown in your answer is a generic structure for an amide, not a reaction.

Keep trying! You are halfway there...

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...
