  dude.......i'm like zoning on this.

  i can't figure it out.

  i got 1.79 and .11 and .11 ...but its not working.

  ah yes that makes sense. So it should probably be:

  [A] <-> 1/2 [B] + 1/2 [C]

  to keep Kc dimensionless and

  Kc = [B]^.5 * [C]^.5 / [A]

  and same procedure as above can be applied to solve for [B], [A]. Does that make sense?

  I know jack shit about chemistry but here goes:

  Go to wikipedia:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrium_constant

  Lets write it as A <-> B + C

  The initial concentration of A is

  [A] = 3.8/2 M/L = z

  Then you know that whatever happens

  [A] + ([B] + [C])/2 = z and [B] = [C]

  so:

  [A] + [B] = z

  Then looking at wikipedia I guess:

  Kc = [B] [C] / [A] = [B]^2 / [A]

  Plug in [A] we get

  Kc = [B]^2 / [A] = [B]^2 / (z-[B])

  If we let x = [B] we get:

  Kc = x^2 / (z-x)

  This gives you the 2d poly:

  x^2 + Kc * x - z Kc = 0

  solving for x gives:

  x = [B] = 0.1741

  and so

  [A] = 1.726

  Keep in mind this is just something I am jotting down from wikipedia...

  SBF: You are speaking an alarming amount of truth!

  But I am still not completely sold on something you wrote a few pages back so I will do what any self-respecting leftist apparently always do when he encounters an argument he disagrees with and call you a "nazi" out of the blue. I hope this convinces you! ;-).

  Would your Muslim neighbour treasure our freedoms and democracy, or would they secretly yearn for Sharia to rule?

  *facepalm*

  Let us keep asking this question as often as possible and ignore how uncomfortable it would make us feel if similar speculations were applied to any other minority, for instance, Jews...

  Cofty:

  Police in Sweden report there are 53 no-go areas in the capital which they consider too dangerous to patrol.

  Non-Jews in Malmo are offering to escort their Jewish neighbors in public areas because it has become too dangerous for them to go about their business because of attacks and abuse by muslim immigrants.

  do you have a source? According to the swedish police those zones are not no go zones but rather zones of special attention.

  Sounds like a Pat Condell fact...

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  LUHE: Russias lies in its propaganda is well documented, heck, they lie deliberately and obviously as part of the strategy. I would challenge you to find similar examples in the representation from western sources.

  I did not claim that Kurds were the only rebels backed by the west. They were part of the western-oriented and more moderate groups backed by the western alliance. Once more you are simplifying the situation to the Kremlin talking point: Assad or ISIS/Al-Queda.

  I can't agree with the whataboutery about cluster munition and Dresden. Please keep it in mind when some brainless SJW drone bring up Dresden to draw a moral equivalence between the warcrimes of ISIS and the west: Either we agree warcrimes are bad on their own or we don't.

  Simon:

  The trouble with Syria is that it's unclear exactly who's side we should be on, who we should be fighting against and why.

  
  Suggestion:

  
  

  We could also go with the torturers and the warcriminals...

  LUHE:

  in arriving at your views, have you read anything on this topic from official sources - not much. So?

  Well, yet you know exactly what is happening and what should be done...

  Your talking points are not well aligned with the facts but do align with the pro-kremlin misinformation about Syria. I would simply invite you to read reports on what is happening but here is a brief summary:

  Syria has 4 major factions: Assad, ISIS, Islamic rebels and Western rebels (Kurds, etc.).

  The western oriented rebels were backed by an international alliance spearheaded by USA; they are the best we come to "good guys" in Syria.

  In 2015 Putin announced(!) the war in Syria was between ISIS and Assad and things were going really badly (in reality, it was going badly for Assad, less badly for the rebels who were fighting ISIS), and now it was time for an international alliance to form and defeat ISIS.

  So he joined efforts with the international alliance and began bombing ISIS. Nah. Just kidding.

  He began to bomb the shit out of the internationally backed rebels and other enemies of Assad under the pretext he was bombing ISIS. That was only in a few cases true as was confirmed by comparing claimed ISIS targets with what was actually bombed.

  In addition to military targets, hospitals, bakeries, water treatment plants, grain silos, mosques, and cities were bombed. Russian cluster munition was used in Syria (that's a warcrime) and images surfaced of Russian fighter planes with said cluster munition attached. Might be a total coincidence.

  In 2016 Putin announced, "mission accomplished". At this point, the Russian campaign had been successful in weakening the western-backed rebels and helping Assad but had not weakened ISIS significantly. By hitting civilian targets (water treatment plants, hospitals, etc) and complicated the conflict it had deepened the humanitarian crisis and created more refugees.

  During this campaign and after the following propaganda points were repeated again and again:

  • The choice is between ISIS and Assad
  • There is no meaningful alternative
  • Putin intervened because nothing was being done
  • Putin has only aimed at ISIS/terrorist targets
  • Putin has not used cluster munition
  • Putin's bombing campaign significantly weakened ISIS

  I invite you to read about the conflict before you repeat the above points.

  Simon: So you just admitted that it would be a completely different scenario

  Why did I just admit that?

  Crimea had a fairly large Russian population, Georgia did not.

  There are hardly any pro-West, secular fighting forces in Syria.[12]

  LUHE: Let's see how far we can agree. The west had one strategy in Syria, Russia had pre-existing strategic goals and pursued a strategy that opposed that of the US. Agree so far?

  Your basic claim is that the US was wrong and Russia knew best, therefore we should follow Russias strategy?

  in arriving at your views, have you read anything on this topic from official sources (thinktanks, academia, military)?
