What Volume of CO2 is Produced from H3PO4 and Na2CO3 Reaction?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the volume of CO2 produced from the reaction between H3PO4 and Na2CO3. Participants emphasize the importance of starting with the balanced chemical equation to determine the moles of CO2 generated. The ideal gas equation is suggested as a method to find the volume of CO2 at the given conditions of 333 K and 90 kPa. There is a clarification regarding terminology, noting the difference between "ideal gas" and "perfect gas" in English. The conversation highlights the need for accurate calculations and understanding of gas laws in chemistry.

The Attempt at a Solution


I calculated the moles for Na2CO3 and H3PO4 but I am lost

Start with the reaction equation.
 
Write the equations, see how many moles of CO2 will be produced, use some gas equation(maybe the perfect gas equation) to calculate how much volume that occupies at this pressure.

perfect gas equation

For the record - in English it is called the ideal gas equation.

Haha, true that. Translating things literally is bound to fail.
I also saw there's a difference in english, with perfect gases being these that do not change their cp and cv with temp/pressure.

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...
