AI Thread Summary
In a 1 mol dm-3 solution of HCl, there is 1 mole of HCl per cubic decimeter. The total number of moles in a solution is calculated based on the concentration and volume, not by simply summing moles of different substances. For example, in a 3 mol dm-3 solution of HNO3, the total would be 3 moles of HNO3 plus the moles of water, leading to a total of 58.6 moles. It's important to understand that mol dm-3 represents concentration rather than the total amount of substance. Accurate calculations require careful attention to units and the relationships between moles and volume.

How many number of moles of molecules are there in 1 mol dm-3 of HCl?

Is it correct to find it this way?
Number of moles of HCl = 1 mol
Number of moles of H2O = 1000/18 = 55.6 mol
So, total number of moles = 55.6 + 1 = 56.6 molesIf i change the question of 3 mol dm-3 of HNO3,
Then the total number of moles of molecules will be
3+ 55.6 = 58.6 moles?

Thanks.

The general conversion is with ratios, not with sums.

If Y = cubic decimeters of substance, F = formula weight or molecular weight of sought substance, and Z = ratio of moles of sought substance to volume of sample in cubic decimeters, then molesOfSoughtSubstance = Z*Y.

Check the units carefully for that formula to see how it works. Notice you would not need "F" because it was not directly needed. You would possibly need the formula weight if you were interested in any relation between mass and moles, but in your examples, you already had number of moles of a sought compound in a given unit of volume.

I have no idea what you mean. mol dm-3 is a measure of concentration, not amount.

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...
