    Balancing Reaction of Formic Acid and Ammonium Hydroxide

    Perfect - so I could just write NH3+.1*HCO2H --> .1NH4HCO2 with .9 moles of ammonia in excess? Thanks.

    Balancing Reaction of Formic Acid and Ammonium Hydroxide

    I'd like to write the chemical equation for the reaction of 1 mole of ammonium hydroxide with .1 mole of formic acid. I understand that NH4OH is not ammonium hydroxide, and it is more accurate to write NH3, implying NH3 (ammonia) + HCO2H (formic acid) --> NH4HCO2 (ammonium formate) but would...

    Summer 2013 Math and Science REU Thread

    I got into a SULI program ~5 days ago. It was my first choice (so I'm obviously not complaining) but still a little odd that they only give you 10 days to decide. I've only heard back from 1/6 REUs and I already accepted an offer lol... Really excited, though! To the guy a few posts above...

    What are some examples of everyday objects that utilize principles of physics?

    10 would be more than enough if I could think of that - I thought this was exempt from the PF rules as finding these devices myself wouldn't enhance the learning process. No worries though, I'll just do it myself I guess. You can lock the thread.

    What are some examples of everyday objects that utilize principles of physics?

    Favorite Physics "Device" For an upper level undergraduate class I need to give a 50 min. presentation on some physics device. Could you guys give me some ideas for some "cool", but more advanced physics devices, such as a Gauss Cannon (they should be things you could pick up). Thank you!

    Calculating confidence level intervals.

    Any resources you can recommend? Preferably online but I'm not against stopping by the library if need be. Thank you.

    Programs Is a Double Major Worth It for Physics Grad School and Job Applications?

    Thanks for the replies. I know that those courses are not required for physics grad school. My question is that is it worth sucking it up and taking those two classes so that I can say on my transcript or during job applications that I was a double major in MTH and PHY. Not sure how important...

    Programs Is a Double Major Worth It for Physics Grad School and Job Applications?

    Haha, I would imagine so - I will be applying to physics graduate school. Should I take that as it will not effect me in my scenario?

    Programs Is a Double Major Worth It for Physics Grad School and Job Applications?

    Hello, I recently decided that I will not complete my major in math despite only being two classes shorts so that I can focus more on the PGRE and research during those semesters. If I plan on going on to grad school will this decision hurt me in any way? Down the road will being able to say...

    Adding/Subtracting arrays in F77

    ...I don't know what to say. I swear I did that before and it did not work but this time there was no problem. There must have been an error somewhere else in my code that I misdiagnosed. Here's the operation I was trying to explain if any of you are curious and thanks for helping...

    Adding/Subtracting arrays in F77

    ^ Yes. You're right, I used poor vocab. I should have asked how to add specific elements of an array . Thanks for clarifying that. I understand that this is a fairly basic question but I don't think it is bad to seek help after I spent a few hours working on it. Yes to the first question...

    Adding/Subtracting arrays in F77

    The reason I posted here is because I finished a schaum's outline on fortran and a book on F77 by Etter and neither addressed my question in the section on arrays. Googling did not help me figure out how to add specific arrays either. I tried variations using do-loops and could not...

    Adding/Subtracting arrays in F77

    I just have a very simple code as follows: program test integer i,j character*14 x(10,7) open (unit=3, file='dstest') open (unit=8, file='dstestnew.data') read (3,*) ((x(i,j), i=1,10), j=1,7) cccc [operation] close(unit=3)...

    Congrats... what did you have on your application that made up for your GPA e.g. amazing teacher recs, etc.

    Love Physics/Maths but procrastinating too much?

    Assuming you are on summer break... 1. Go to the library or somewhere that isn't your house to study. 2. Leave your phone at home and your computer (if you want to take notes on a computer do it on the library computer so you are less tempted to surf but preferably take notes on paper if you...
