So the question is: When 2.00 mol of SO2 reacts completely with 02 in a constant pressure reactor, the only material left in the reactor once the reaction has stopped is SO3 at 25 degrees celsius. The constant pressure in the reactor was 101kPa and 198 kJ of energy is released as heat. Assume...

Ok, thanks

Homework Statement determine the Cartesian equation of the plane through the points (3,0,1) and (0,1,-1) and perpendicular to the plane with equation x-y-z+1 = 0 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Well I know the normal of the plane (a,b,c) dotted with (1,-1,-1) = 0...

I would like to go to graduate school but I have no idea how well I'll do in university. I do well in high school but grades are inflated nowadays so its hard to tell. I figure with an engineering degree I won't be screwed if I can't get into grad school.

I would rather do physics but the possibility of becoming one of those people with a bsc in physics and not being able to find a job scares me. I have looked at all the courses I would be taking and they're both very similar. Queens also offers some more interesting programs like eng Chem and...

So I've been accepted to Queens and Mcmaster for engineering and waterloo for physics and this decision is killing me. I think I've narrowed it down to either queens or McMaster mainly because they both offer an engineering physics specialization which appealed to me because I originally wanted...

Ok thanks.

By pointing along the rope do you mean in the outward direction?

Wow. I feel like an idiot now... I didn't realize the masses were given even after typing that out. Thanks though.

Homework Statement Mass 1(2.0kg) sits on top of mass 2(5 kg), which rests on a frictionless surface. The coefficient of static friction between mass 1 and 2 is 0.30. A string of length 5.0m is tied to mass 2, and both masses are swung around in a horizontal circle. Calculate a) the max speed...

Oh wait. 2.4 s is the period not the frequency.

Homework Statement A beach comber walking along the top of a sea wall notices that the waves reflecting off of the concrete breaker are creating a pattern of interference with the original incoming waves. A few meters from the breaker the waves are at maximum oscillation with a time between...

I figured it would be much too advanced for me. I guess i'll just show the interference pattern then. Thanks for your help.

I have to do an experiment for my physics class and I was thinking of doing the double slit experiment. Ideally I'd like to do the single photon version if its possible but I realize that's probably too ambitious. If I used neutral density filters to reduce the output from a laser pointer how...
