hi everyone

I'm having problem with these 3 questions that i have to answer for my lab and i was wondering if any of u guys could help me out on these...

any help would be appreciated...

1. so there are the equations and what the question is asking is to write the complete chemical equations and the state of each compound ( The equations should be balanced...)

*charge

MgCl2 + NaOH ---> Products (balanced)
FeCl3 + NaOH
BaCl2 + Na2SO4
CaCl2 + AgNO3
Pb(NO3)2 + Kl
Na2CO3 + HCL
NH4Cl + NaOH

2. Q: Biosphere II was created in 1991 to test the idea that scientists could build a sealed, self-sustaining ecosystem. The carbon dioxide levels in Biosphere II were lower than scientists had predicted. Scientists discovered that the carbon dioxide was reacting with calcium hydroxide, a basic compound in the concrete.

a) Write two balanced questions to show the reactions. Then classify the reactions,. Hint: In the first reaction, carbon dioxide reacts with water in the concrete to form hydrogen carbonate. Hydrogen carbonate, an acid, reacts with calcium hydroxide, a base.

b) Why do you think scientists failed to predicts that this would happen?

c) Suggest ways that scientists could have combatted the problem.

3. Using Balanced Chemical Equation Represent: ( sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen to form sulfur trioxide, which in turn reacts with liquid water to form sulfuric acid)

a) the formation of the sulfur trioxide in an engine.
b) the reactions of sulfur trioxide in out atmosphere.

Your question set from number 1:
complete chemical equations and the state of each compound ( The equations should be balanced...)

*charge

MgCl2 + NaOH ---> Products (balanced)
FeCl3 + NaOH
BaCl2 + Na2SO4
CaCl2 + AgNO3
Pb(NO3)2 + Kl

NH4Cl + NaOH
Look for results that will produce either precipitates, or a weaker base. The reactants listed in each line are all soluble by themselves.
 
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...
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...
