Chemistry Units conversion for solution concentration

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the units for the equation C = p/RT, where pressure (p) is measured in Pascals (Pa). It clarifies that the unit for concentration (C) can be expressed as Pa J^-1 mol. The conversation emphasizes the need to understand the units of force, which is Newtons (N), and surface area, measured in square meters (m^2), to derive the concentration in mol/L. The participants agree on the importance of correctly converting these units to achieve accurate results. Overall, the thread highlights the relationship between pressure, force, and concentration in solution chemistry.

concentration units conversion with Pascal
Relevant Equations
C= p/RT
What are the units for C= p/RT
where p is in Pa

Would it be Pa J^-1 mol ?
and if so, how could I get the concentration in mol/L

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...
