Inorganic Chemistry. Calculating Ksp

AI Thread Summary
To convert grams per milliliter (g/ml) to moles per liter (mol/L), divide the mass in grams by the molar mass of the compound and then multiply by 1000 to account for the conversion from milliliters to liters. The discussion highlights confusion regarding the given density of AgC2H3O2, which is stated as 102 g/ml, a value considered unrealistic for a typical substance. Participants emphasize the importance of verifying the density before proceeding with calculations. The Ksp expression for the compound is correctly noted as Ksp = [Ag][C2H3O2]. Accurate conversions and understanding of density are crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


i need help going from g/ml to mol/L

Calculate Ksp
AgC2H3O2=102 g/ml


Homework Equations


Ksp=[Ag][C2H3O2]


The Attempt at a Solution


i really have no idea how to do this. Our teacher never taught us this and expects me to know how..

To convert grams to moles, you divide by the molar mass of the compound, and there are 1000 mL in 1 L.
 
Are you sure about 102 g per mL? Closest place were such densities are observed would be somwehere inside the Sun.

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...
