AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the products of a reaction between AgNO3 and MgI2, specifically focusing on writing the balanced molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations. Participants emphasize the importance of applying solubility rules to identify the formation of an insoluble salt as a product. The initial step involves recognizing the ions present in the solutions and predicting their interactions. The conversation highlights the necessity of understanding ionic compounds' solubility to accurately write the net ionic equation. Overall, the discussion aims to clarify the process of deriving chemical equations from given reactants.

1. 12.53 mL of a 1.74 M solution of AgNO3 are mixed with 1.43 mL of a 9.63 M solution of MgI2. Write equations for the reaction, ionic and net ionic.


2. Usually they give the products of the reaction but in this case we have to figure out what is produced. Where do I start?

With solubility rules. There is an obvious combination of ions present in the solution that gives insoluble salt.

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...
