AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of the "balancing constant" in the context of the chemical reaction 2SO2 + O2 = 2SO3. A participant calculates a value of 3.6125, while the book states the answer is 279. There is confusion regarding the term "balancing constant," with suggestions that it may refer to the equilibrium constant. However, participants note that insufficient data is provided to determine this constant accurately. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in terminology and more information to solve the problem effectively.

into a 5 litter container we put 64 grams of SO2 (1 mole)
32 grams of oxygen (1 mole) on 1000k it balances

2SO_2 +O_2 =2SO_3

what is the balancing constant ??

i got 3.6125
the answer in the book is
279
??

No idea what you mean by "balancing constant". Perhaps equilibrium constant? But even then, there is not enough data to answer the question.

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...
