AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving net ionic equations for two chemical reactions. For the first reaction between Al(NO3)3 and K2CO3, participants confirm that a precipitate forms and emphasize the importance of solubility rules in determining the net ionic equation. In the second reaction involving hydroiodic acid and CH3NH2, it is noted that no precipitate occurs, indicating an acid-base reaction. Clarifications are made regarding the dissociation of compounds and the definition of concentration, which refers to molarity rather than charge. The conversation highlights the need for understanding limiting reagents and the proper interpretation of ionic dissociation in reactions.

Well, if you know that you are assumed to use solubility rules, I suppose you may check them in your textbook. You may also try to google them:

In the second reaction there will be no precipitate, this is acid base reaction.
 
Is it safe to assume that when it says dissociates it means that a compound like NO3would turn into N and 03 or does it simply mean that it breaks with whatever else it is bonded to as the complete compound NO3?

By concentration of the remaining Ions it means whether they are negative or positively charged, right?

Dissociates into Al3+ and NO3-.

No, concentration is amount per volume, charge doesn't matter. For example you may have solution that contains 0.1M (mol/L) Na+.

This is just a limiting reagent question.

Ah, ok. So by concentration they mean Molarity! I should have noticed that. Thank you.
 
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...
