AI Thread Summary
The balanced equation for the reaction between BaO and P2O5 is Ba(PO3)2. Participants suggest that predicting products can be challenging without guidance, and experimentation with reactants may be necessary. Balancing the charges and the overall equation is crucial in determining the correct products. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding chemical reactions and balancing equations. Ultimately, finding the right product often requires a mix of knowledge and trial and error.

The Attempt at a Solution



The only one possible product I've been able to arrive at is Ba(PO3)2 but this is based on no science whatsoever. I can't find anything in my text that helps me predict this product
THANKS!

That would be my guess too.

Sometimes if you don't have any guidance on what the product or products would be, you just have to play around with the reactants and see what you can make as long as everything balances (charges and equation).

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...
