AI Thread Summary
Butyraldehyde is being evaluated for its solubility in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) through a proposed reaction equation. The initial reaction suggests that butyraldehyde reacts with H2SO4 to form a sulfate ion and a product with a hydroxyl group. There is a mention of a de-hydrogenation reaction, indicating a potential transformation of butyraldehyde to an alkene. The discussion also includes attempts to format chemical equations using LaTeX. Overall, the focus is on understanding the chemical behavior of butyraldehyde in the presence of sulfuric acid.

oop! sorry!
I got to find out how to use that Latex thingy. I think it's a de-hydrogenation reaction.

CH3CH2CH2CHO +H2SO4 --> CH3CH2CH=CH + H2O

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...
