    Programs What degree should I get to study complexity?

    Hello! Lately I have been asking the same thing myself! I'm on my first year of chemistry and recently I've been more and more inclined towards complexity theory (and essentially general system theory after I found this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0807604534/?tag=pfamazon01-20). My...

    Quick doubt on organic nomeclature

    Hi When naming organic compounds, hydrocarbons for example, it's very common to have several radicals of the same group attached to the 'main' carbon line. So for example, pentane, with 5 carbons in a row. Suppose we add 2 methyl to it, one on carbon 2 and one or carbon 3. We'd then have to...

    How to graph 5 or more variables at once?

    Well, yeah, like in a ternary graph we can in fact represent 3 variables in a 2D space, but that's because they have to sum up to 100% Suppose a equation with 5 variables, how could we possibly graph it, showing all values that al variables can assume?

    How to graph 5 or more variables at once?

    Hi there For quite some time now, I've been wondering if/how it would be possible to plot 5 or more variables on a single graph. If we have 2 variables we can make a simple 2D graph, if we have 3 variables we can make a 3D graph and if we have 4 variables we can make a 3D graph that changes...

    Can Helium-Filled Surgical Hose Stand Vertically?

    Well now that's quite a good question, but 'slightly' would be like when you have your helium balloon with the string on it and it floats with some string on the ground. in this case the balloon + string weights is just slightly more than the same volume in air. If it simply can't get off the...

    Can Helium-Filled Surgical Hose Stand Vertically?

    Well, you can just do the maths and discover by yourself. You just need to know how much the hose weights, and its volume(total and internal, although just internal will do). Then just calculate how much the hose filled with helium weights, and how much the same volume or air weights. If the...

    What happens when two electrons in a shell collide?

    Sure thing. But they'd just repel each other on a perfectly elastic collision. No, they wouldn't fly away or change their orbitals, because that would require energy and no extra energy has been added to the system during their collision. Oh an by the way the number of atoms on the observable...

    Regarding consevation of energy on electrolysis

    Yes, lowering the voltage will result in a lower current (I did not forget Ohms law). However, I'm not interested in the total amounts of current or work on the system, but on the fact that upon lowering the voltage no matter how much there will still be, even if a little, current going through...

    Regarding consevation of energy on electrolysis

    Hi there. I'm a Brasilian high school student. Some time ago we studied electrolysis reactions (rather fast and less deep than I expected, but anyway) and one question that popped into my mind some time later, when taking some electricity principles into account, was the following: Faraday's...
