Precipitation reactions for sparingly soluble compounds?

AI Thread Summary
When two ionic solutions are mixed, and a sparingly soluble product forms, it is indeed possible to write an ionic equation for the reaction. The discussion confirms that writing an ionic equation for the product is correct. Participants suggest consulting a textbook for further understanding, particularly regarding the Solubility Product Constant. Overall, the consensus is that the process and representation of the reaction are valid. Understanding these concepts is essential for accurately depicting precipitation reactions in chemistry.

Yes.

Langauge usage is not perfect, but if you are trying to ask the question, then Yes.

Look in textbook for Solubility Product Constant.

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...
