AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around simplifying lab instructions for the synthesis of Alum in a General Chemistry 1 lab. The original instructions were deemed intimidating, prompting the user to create a more straightforward version. Feedback requested includes clarity and accessibility, with suggestions to attach documents directly instead of using links. Concerns were raised about the absence of safety information in the new instructions, which the user acknowledged but noted that safety details are included in the original lab materials. The user aims to streamline their process without losing essential safety guidelines.

Hello, I recently started writing my own step by step instructions for lab as the ones in my lab book are intimidating a little hard to follow. This is for General Chemistry 1 LAB. It's for a synthesis of Alum. Would someone review my simplified instructions and give me feedback? I would appreciate it if so, Thanks! :D

Welcome to PF.

Your instructions are a little fuzzy and hard to read. Can you attach a PDF copy of them? Thanks.

Oops, sorry about that. Here ya go, I made a Adobe PDF sharing link and attached a word doc, let me know if you still have trouble accessing/seeing the document. Thanks!

It's best to print the Word doc to PDF and attach it directly. Links can be broken over time, and Word attachments can contain macros.
 
Also, I didn't see a section at the beginning of the document outlining any general or specific safety issues. Should there be one?

Got it, I will remember that. The original lab instructions contain safety information on a different page, these instructions are just for me to follow them step by step and so I don't let lost in the paragraphs of the original instructions.

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...
