AI Thread Summary

To solve the problem of finding the total mass in a 500 m^3 tank filled with a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 200 kPa, one should first reference the specific volume of water for both the liquid and vapor phases using steam tables. Given that 20% of the mass is liquid and 80% is vapor, the specific volumes can be used to calculate the total mass. The ideal gas law equation pV = mRT is not directly applicable here due to the phase mixture. Understanding the properties of saturated mixtures is crucial for accurate calculations. The key to solving this problem lies in utilizing the correct thermodynamic tables for water.

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...
