Chemistry MCQ- What is the Gibbs free energy value?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the calculation of Gibbs free energy using the equation ΔG = ΔG° + RTln(c_B/c_A), where c_A and c_B represent the concentrations of species A and B. The participant expresses confusion regarding the correct answer, which is indicated as option a in the key. They highlight that without specified units for the answers, multiple options could potentially be correct, particularly concerning the sign of the values. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clarity in unit specifications for accurate interpretation of Gibbs free energy calculations. Overall, the need for precise information in scientific questions is underscored.

Where have I gone wrong?
According to the key, the right option is a.

I think that ##\Delta G = \Delta G^0 + RTln(c_B/c_A)##, where ##c_A## and ##c_B## are the concentrations of species ##A## and ##B##, respectively.

As long as it is not clearly stated in what units given answers are, every one of them can be correct (well, perhaps the only thing that allows differentiation between them is the sign).

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...
