Change Hybridisation Standard

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around two questions regarding standard enthalpy change and electron configuration. For the standard enthalpy change, the correct formula is indeed product minus reactant, contrary to the confusion expressed about the provided answer. Regarding the valence electrons in Fe2+, it retains six valence electrons due to its electron configuration, despite losing two electrons. Clarification on these concepts is essential for understanding thermodynamics and electron arrangements. Accurate comprehension of these topics is crucial for further studies in chemistry.

Hi guys, here i have two question, but i don't understand the answer at all.

For the standard enthalphy change question 5) b) i) shouldn't it be standard enthalphy change = Product - Reactant? But from the answer it was given as reactant - product.

For question number 8, i don't understand why Fe²⁺ still has 6 valence electrons, shouldn't it be 4?

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...
