AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the structural formula for the molecular formula C3H6Cl2. It highlights that there is no single correct answer, as multiple structural isomers can exist. Participants note that there are at least four possible structures, with a fifth if enantiomers are considered. The complexity arises from the presence of double bonds and the arrangement of chlorine atoms. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the need to explore various configurations to fully represent the compound.

The molecular formule is C3H6CI2, what is the structural formula for it?
 
Show what you get when you try to draw the molecule.

There is no unambiguous answer.
 
And there are four possibles, try to get them all.
 
Five if you count enantiomers!
 

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...

Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
