    Physical Chemistry- Partial Pressures

    1. Homework Statement A student decomposes KCLO3 and collects 35.2 cm^3 of O2 over water at 23.0°C. The laboratory barometer reads 751 Torr. The vapor pressure of water at 23.0°C is 21.1 Torr. Find the volume the oxygen would occupy at 0.0*C and 1.2atm (= 912 Torr). 2. Homework Equations...

    Physical Chemistry- Partial Pressures

    Hello all, This is a homework problem for my CHE345 class. Not sure what to do here, please at least let me know if I'm in the right ballpark. Homework Statement A student decomposes KCLO3 and collects 35.2 cm^3 of O2 over water at 23.0°C. The laboratory barometer reads 751 Torr. The...

    Does Light Mass Increase a Black Hole?

    I'm just curious, when light enters a black hole, does the black hole gain a little bit of mass? We think of photons as massless particles, but they do have energy, and energy has a mass equivalent, e=mc2 Would the mass gained perhaps be, = hν / c2 ?

    Can the Chain Rule Prove Even and Odd Symmetry in Derivatives?

    Hello all, This is a question on a problem set for my Calculus 1 class. Please help if you can. Homework Statement A function, f defined on the set of real numbers is said to have even symmetry if f(-x) = f(x) for all x, and is said to have odd symmetry if f(-x) = -f(x) for all x. Use...

    Uncovering the Truth Behind the Founders of Relativity: A Comprehensive Analysis

    Who are the authors of relativity theory? From Wikipedia: "[Nikola] Tesla also believed that much of Albert Einstein's relativity theory had already been proposed by Ruđer Bošković, stating in an unpublished interview: ...the relativity theory, by the way, is much older than its...

    Space Travel: SR Questions Explored

    Ok but Lawrence Krauss told me that because of Dark Energy, all the galaxies will eventually be traveling at > c with relation to each other and will disappear from each others' view. He also said that this doesn't violation SR. Explain that!

    Space Travel: SR Questions Explored

    Hello All, I'm trying to wrap my head around SR and I have a couple questions: If two space travelers (A) and (C) take off from a Planet (B) in opposite directions and each travels just over 1/2c, do they vanish from each others' view? I don't see why they wouldn't but If yes, doesn't...
