    Thermodynamics- pV^n = constant.

    Oh God I suck... So does this sound good to you? ln(P1(V1)^n)=ln(P2(V2)^n) ln(P1) + n*ln(V1) = ln(P2) + n*ln(V2)

    Thermodynamics- pV^n = constant.

    Yah I understand that. But Even if I do that won't I be left with: n*ln(P1V1)=n*ln(P2V2) So... All I can do is cancel things out. I can't really isolate n... right? unless I want #n=0. Feel free to call me a moron if I am missing something obvious :-p

    Thermodynamics- pV^n = constant.

    Homework Statement A closed system consisting of 2 lb of a gas undergoes a process in which pV^n=constant. For: p1=20 lb/in^2 , V1=10 ft^3 and p2=100lb/in^2 V2=2.9 ft^3. Find n. Homework Equations pV^n=constant The Attempt at a Solution Im just having trouble realizing how to find n. This...

    News The Troops = Bad? (surely killing is wrong)

    Ok, so would this make more sense to you: The next time our country is threatened we won't send those terrible soldiers out to defend us all... let's just let the enemy come in here and take your life along with your other fellow Americans lives. Surely you would let them come in and take...
