AI Thread Summary
The chemical equation for the titration of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, C9H8O4) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) involves the reaction where ASA donates a proton. The resulting equation is C9H8O4 + NaOH → C9H7O4Na + H2O. This indicates that the carboxylic acid group in ASA reacts with NaOH, replacing a proton with a sodium ion. The product formed is sodium acetylsalicylate (C9H7O4Na) and water. Understanding this reaction is crucial for accurately performing titrations involving ASA.

Titration chemical equation

Ok so the equation is for a titration of sodium hydroxide and ASA(asprin) I believe the chemical formula of asprin to be C9H8O4 and sodium hydroxide is
NaOH. so the formula goes C9H8O4 + NaOH --> ?
If someone knows the rest of the formula it would be a great he

ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) is an aromatic carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid is titrated with NaOH in your example. Remove a proton from the formula (C9H8O4) and replace it with a sodium to show the product.
 

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...
