AI Thread Summary
To determine the pH of a salt solution from the reaction of NaOH and HCl, it's essential to understand that both are strong acid and base, respectively. The resulting salt solution will have a neutral pH of around 7 because the strong acid completely neutralizes the strong base. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing the strength of the acid and base involved in the reaction, as this influences the pH of the resulting salt solution. Without specific values, the general principle is that strong acid-strong base reactions yield neutral salts. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving similar problems in chemistry.

What do you know about pH of salts in general? How does it depend on whether the acid/base neutralized while making the salt are strong/weak?
 

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...
