AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the chemical reaction occurring when KNO3, NaOH, MgSO4, and water are combined. Participants note the presence of small bubbles, indicating gas release, and a cloudy solid at the bottom, which may be a hydroxide compound. Clarifications are made regarding the nature of sulfate ions, with a correction that SO4^2- is a conjugate base rather than an acid. The conversation emphasizes the need to identify the dissociated ions and predict potential precipitate formation. Overall, the interaction involves understanding acid-base reactions and solubility principles in the mixture.

hey ok i have KNO3+NaOH+MgSO4+H2O in one container now i see so very small bubbles, what is the gas being released? and the is this cloudy some what solid substance at the bottom what can that be? is it a hydroxide compund?

some one please
 
1: Don't double post.
2: This is, as I hope you know, an acid reaction (not sure of the right words in english). {SO_4}^{++} is an acid, OH^- (which appears when dissolving NaOH) is a very strong base. They will obviously react. Think again, and maybe you'll find it.
 
1 i didnt double post they moved it...
2 u didnt answer y question

What is SO4++? I think you meant SO42-, which is a conjugate base and not an acid. SO42- will NOT react with OH- because both want to accept a hydrogen ion. It WILL react with H2O, however.

First, I'd start out by writing out the ions dissociated. KNO3 is soluble, NaOH is a strong base so it will dissociate, and MgSO4 is soluble in water. Then think which two ions will go together to form a precipitate.

Then think about what will happen when the SO42- reacts with H2O. Let's see what you can come up with :smile:.

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...
