How Many Oxygen Atoms Are in Oxygen Gas?

AI Thread Summary
One molecule of oxygen gas (O2) contains two oxygen atoms. In one mole of oxygen gas, there are approximately 6.02 x 10^23 oxygen atoms, based on Avogadro's number. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding both the molecular structure and the mole concept in chemistry. Clarifications are sought regarding the accuracy of these statements. The responses indicate that the initial assertions are conceptually correct but may require further detail for full comprehension.

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...
