Solutions, solvents, solvability and statistics
I might have lost myself before I even started! Well, I wouldn't exactly know how they would form back as BaCl2 and Na2SO4. Not as solids though. Perhaps just as liquids separated by the very improbable chance that one was on top and one on bottom or whatever it might be (say similar to the... -

Solutions, solvents, solvability and statistics
It wasn't so much that BaSO4 was going to dissolve back. I understand that it won't. But is there really no chance that the ions once free as Ba2+, Cl-, Na+ and SO42- in the liquid will not form directly back to BaCL2 and Na2SO4 without ever forming BaSO4? I hope that's made my question... -

Solutions, solvents, solvability and statistics
The misunderstandings might very well be from language barriers. I honestly don't know the English terms for any of these things as I'm Danish. So to sum it up, what you are saying is that there is no chance that mixing (again, sorry, probably the wrong word) those two, BaCL2 and Na2SO4, having... -

Solutions, solvents, solvability and statistics
First of all I apologize for my lack of English skills in the world of chemistry. I've just started taking a very basic course in Chemistry and one week in an experiment got me wondering. Na_{2}SO_{4} (aq) + BaCL_{2} (aq) \rightarrow BaSO_{4} (s) + 2NaCl (aq). Now my teacher kept saying... -

Stargazing Celestron UpClose Porro Series 10-30 x 50 Zoom Binoculars
Of course. That's the rule of thumb I've gone by on most occasions. From what I can see the two are somewhat similar, but the difference is in the stand, which I understand is quite important. I'm actually asking cause my birthday is right around the corner and I've been meaning to put a...- Storm89

Stargazing Celestron UpClose Porro Series 10-30 x 50 Zoom Binoculars
Wondering. How good are the National Geographic Telescopes? Specifically NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC 114/900MM AZ. Say compared to the Bresser Galaxia 114/900.- Storm89

Undergrad Heliosphere's Long-theorized Bow Shock Does Not Exist
Thanks for the link and explanation! Great info there going through the different sites there! I only read through a couple of them, but they did explain it in a nice and somewhat easily comprehensible way - for a noob.- Storm89

Undergrad Heliosphere's Long-theorized Bow Shock Does Not Exist
And how did they then derive the numbers to the fact that there should have been bow shock? From other objects they've observed? If so it seems weird that there would be non in relation to Voyager 1. As said, I'm just curious and generally don't know anything about the topic... yet. Best way...- Storm89

Undergrad Heliosphere's Long-theorized Bow Shock Does Not Exist
I saw a documentary yesterday with a physicist saying that the best thing that can happen is when something isn't the way it's been predicted. If everything turned out to be exactly as predicted, physicists would soon run out of jobs. Something like that anyway... Now, what is there then if...- Storm89

Graduate Ladies and Gentlemen Voyager 1 Has Left the Solar System
It is quite a feat, but I can't help but think what we could achieve today. Although it's a bit of a vast distance to catch up to...- Storm89

Well, I don't know that much about this, but isn't there a chance that it just is that...missing? aka not there at all?- Storm89

High School Oops! Making Obvious Mistakes in Algebra II
It's been years and years since I've done any maths at all, and I've got a couple of months to get it just a bit up to scratch before it's back to the school bench. Only thing basically remember and could explain properly is simple division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. Only just...- Storm89

What's Your Philosophy of Mathematics?
Being as new to physics and math as I am (despite having taken Math at B-level (C, B, A here in Denmark pre-uni), I think at the current point that it holds a bit of this and that and wouldn't know where to place my vote fully. I do believe in logic, but also that had we originally defined 1 as...- Storm89

How Can Amateurs Start Learning Physics Effectively?
It seems I am in a similar boat to you, coming from a totally different field going into physics. I am however planning on going to University (again again again...). The first 3 times around have been in a totally different field and it wasn't until a few months ago I realized that I could go...- Storm89

Concentration What you are Good at or What you find Interesting?
I personally would always go for what I find interesting these days. I want it to be easy cause I find it interesting, not interesting because I find it easy. Of course it's not just as simple as that in the end, but if you don't find it interesting, what's going to keep you interested? If you...- Storm89
