Chemistry Is the Calculation for Additional Moles of D2 Correct?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the calculation of additional moles of D2 needed in a chemical reaction. The molar masses of H2, HD, and D2 are provided, leading to the equation 10 = nH2*2 + nHD*3 + nD2*4. The total moles (nTot) are calculated as 10/2.7, and the additional moles of D2 (x) are derived as 10/(18.9), which corresponds to a mass of 2.1 grams. The calculations appear to be confirmed as correct by participants in the discussion.

mx remets to mass in gram of the compost x
nx remets to moles of the compost x
nTot remets to the total moles
x remets to the additional moles of D2
I considered the molar mass:
MH2 = 2u
MHD = 3u
MD2 = 4u

10 = mH2 + mHD + mD2
10 = nH2*2 + nHD*3 + nD2*4
10 = nTot + 0.9nTot + 0.8nTot
nTot = 10/2.7

So:
0.3 = (nD2 + x)/nTot + x
x = nTot/7
x = 10/(18.9)

That is, we need to add + 10/(18.9) moles of D2,
10/(18.9) = m/4
m = 2.1 g

This seems right?

That's what I get. Nice job.

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...
