Physical Chemistry: Should I Write Supplementary or Retake?

AI Thread Summary
Students facing a failed Physical Chemistry course must decide between writing a supplementary exam or retaking the course, which could delay their studies by a year. A supplementary exam offers a chance to improve knowledge and possibly pass without repeating the entire course. It's crucial to analyze the reasons for failure and assess necessary skills before making a decision. Retaking the course may be essential for those pursuing a degree in Chemistry, while considering a change in major could also be an option. Ultimately, the choice should align with long-term academic and career goals.

If I failed this courses should I write a supplementary in about 10 days or should I retake it and put myself behind a full year of studies in my program?

What is a supplementary? How would writing this supplementary improve your knowledge of Physical Chemistry? Failing the course means you have no academic course credit for the course. You should determine why you failed the course. Then, knowing this, review any skills and knowledge needed and then enroll in Physical Chemistry (a second time)/again. Being behind by one year may be necessary in order to earn your degree goal. If Chemistry is your major field of study, you might want to change major fields (but not necessarily).

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...
