    Solving Equilibrium Constant

    I understand how the equations are set up but I can't seem to solve the maths to get the equilibrium constants. Is there something I am missing? Like I said, I am aware that X = 200 thus that value remains at that. Also, From the fourth equation K_{out} = Cl_{out}.

    European Experiences of the Icelandic Geyser Ash Clouds

    I live in UK. I haven't seen the ash but it's said that it's so high up that it doesn't effect people living here and thus it is not visible. As for people stuck abroad, trains are very booked. Also, in France, there are train strikes which makes the situation harder...

    Can a physicist be fat?

    Yes, some can be fat. But not all may be for the reason stated. However, not every physicist is fat. Most are not. I can say they would eat less as they are more focused on their work thus are not fat. ... There are two sides to a coin.

    Homogeneous Differential Equation

    The 'a' test, you can only put 'a' infront of 'x' and 'y' but not in front of the constant? Am I correct? So...dy/dx= \frac{ay+ 1}{ax- 2} And Not...dy/dx= \frac{ay+ a1}{ax- a2} which would lead to 'a' cancelling out.
