What Is the Reaction Rate of Zn and HCl?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the reaction rate of zinc (Zn) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) in releasing hydrogen gas. Participants seek guidance on constructing a hypothesis, selecting an appropriate method for experimentation, and identifying independent, dependent, and controlled variables. The relevance of this reaction to society is also questioned, likely relating to its applications in various fields. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in experimental design and the significance of understanding chemical reactions. Overall, the thread aims to facilitate a structured approach to studying this chemical interaction.

I need to check at what rate Zn and HCl react to release hydrogen gas.


How do I construct a hypothesis?

What method should I use?

What would the variables be? (independent, dependent, and controlled)

What relevance would all of this have to society?



Please help.

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...
