AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need to extract carbohydrates from vegetables for use in a mushroom business focused on growing oyster mushrooms. The owner seeks effective methods for carbohydrate extraction, questioning the viability of using pure carbohydrates. There is also concern about the cost-effectiveness of this approach compared to market prices. The mushrooms are cultivated on logs made from grass and spawn, which eventually dry out after producing mushrooms. The goal is to inject carbohydrates into the logs to rejuvenate them for further mushroom growth.

I own a mushroom business. In this business we grow oyster mushrooms. Oyster mushrooms life of carbohydrates so I need a way to extract those carbohydrates from vegetables.

I doubt using just pure carbohydrates would work. And what carbohydrates, in what form? Are you sure you will be able to make it cheaper than the market price?
 
The mushrooms grow on logs mad of grass and spawn. The log produces its amount of mushrooms and then dries out. Now I want to inject the carbohydrates into the log to refuel it.

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...
