AI Thread Summary

To calculate mass from density and volume, use the formula mass = density × volume. In this case, first convert the volume of battery acid from gallons to liters, as density is typically expressed in grams per liter. Next, multiply the density (1.26 g/mL) by the volume in milliliters to find the total mass of the solution. To find the mass of sulfuric acid, multiply the total mass by the percentage of sulfuric acid by mass (38.5%). This method can be applied to similar problems involving density and volume calculations.

Density is mass per unit volume, so if given the density and volume, how do you calculate mass?

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...
