    Volume Change in Phase Transitions

    Sorry about that, I just fixed it so I hope that makes it more clear. So by same ratio are you saying it's similar if not the same of what you got with it scaling for pressure? it's been a long day so I might be a little dense.

    Volume Change in Phase Transitions

    I used 1 mole. Here is my calculation n= (1.26g)(1mol/92.093892g)= 0.013682267 [(0.013682267)(0.0826)(563.15k)]/(2.961) = 0.2149L 1cm3= 214.9cc 2.961 pressure was used as opposed to straight 1 atm since it's in a vessel that places pressure on liquid in addition of heating the glycerol into...

    Volume Change in Phase Transitions

    alright, well I suppose to clarify I'm attempting to figure out a simple 1cc of liquid glycerol to gas. From what I calculated was 214.9cc with a (2.961 atm). Edit: I just realized you called me small Harry. Gave me a large smile! and thank you for your help.

    Volume Change in Phase Transitions

    Homework Statement It's not so much an exact question. One of the things I need to figure out to answer my question is if there is a formula of some sort that helps me calculate volume change through a phase change. The final volume of a liquid that vaporizes into a gas, if the temperature and...

    Polar coordinates and multivariable integrals.

    Homework Statement Im righting this down for my roommates since he's having tons of trouble trying to figure this out and I can't answer it. also sorry for having to hotlink it. http://i.imgur.com/afShz.jpg the equation is on the image since its very difficult to type it all out...

    What direction of r vector would decrease the potential energy most rapidly?

    Homework Statement Consider a point mass, M, at the origin and a mass, m, at the point r(vector)=(x,y,z). The gravitational force on m is F(r)= (-GmM/||r||^3)(r). For simplicity, let's set GmM=1. Note that this force is directed towards the origin. the gravitational potential is a real valued...

    Finding more points for an R^4->R^2 matrix

    You may assume that all functions in this problem are differentiable at the indicated points a) if F(x,y,z,t)=(t^2exp(x+yz),z^2exp(y+xz) compute Df(1,0) now we know how to find the matrix, but what we don't know how to do is find additional points for z and t. any help would be great.

    Calculating the Main Diagonal of a Parallelepiped from Origin to Opposite Vertex

    The question is: let V1=(2,2,0), V2=(-1,2,1), V3-(1,1,4). There three vectors determine a parallelepiped. P draw it. (a) (this is the one that is giving me trouble) Determine the length of its main diagonal. (from origin to opposite vertex). I can't seem to figure out what it means from...

    Neutron Stars and unbinding energy

    Homework Statement The Gravitational binding energy of an object consisting of loose material, held together by gravity alone, is the amount of energy required to pull all of the material apart, to infinity. the gravitational binding energy Ug is roughly given by GM^2/R. how fast do you have...

    How Do You Calculate Force and Work for a Suspended Spool in Rotational Motion?

    Homework Statement A narrow but solid spool of thread has radius R and mass M. If you pull up on the thread so that the CM of the spool remains suspended in the air at the same place as it unwinds, (a) what force must you exert on the thread? (B) how much work have you done by the time the...

    Calculating Work to Stretch a Spring from 30cm to 41cm

    Homework Statement A spring has a natural length of 30 cm. If a 21 N force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 35 cm, how much work W is required to stretch it from 30 cm to 41 cm? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.) Homework Equations 41cm-30cm=11cm so its .11m...

    Electromagnetic wave striking a small pocket mirror

    Homework Statement a plane electromagnetic wave of intensity 6.00 W/m^2, moving in the x direction, strikes a small pocket mirror of area 40.0cm^2, held in the yz plane. (a) what momentum does the wave transfer to the mirror each second? (b) find the force that the wave exerted on the...
