My gas chromatography instrument ran out of air while cooling down and now it won't turn on, nor the computer it is hooked up to? Can this be fixed?

A manufacturer quotes a standard CO2 canister contains 16g of CO2 at a volume of 20cm^3. So I need to calculate the pressure in the canister... Using ideal gas law P = nRT/V n = 0.364mol (16 of co2) R = 8.314 J/Kmol (universal gas constant) T = 294k (gas is at room temp 21 deg C) V = 20cm3...

1 mole of all gas has equal number of molecules irrespective of their size. So I just wanted to know when 1 mole of molecules exerts pressure on the wall of a container, will it be same for all gases, irrespective of their molecules sizes.

Homework Statement A thin, closed, insulated cylinder of length L, filled with ideal gas (temperature T, mass M, total amount 1 mole) lies on a table. It is very gently raised to the vertical, after which equilibrium is reestablished. Does the entropy change? What is the temperature change (to...

I have a few simple questions about the process of dissolving a gas in water, if anyone could give me any help it would be appreciated. 1. How do I know the gas has dissolved? i.e. if I "bubble" gas into the liquid how do I know it hasn't just "bubbled" out? Or would this only occur once the...

Hi there, not sure if this is the right sub-forum. I hope so. 1. Homework Statement This is the known data: A isothermal process in the ascending conduit (like a chimney) of a closed-loop circuit, which is thermally insulated from the atmosphere, and in no contact with the air. This is the...

In the constant volume gas thermometer, T (°c)=[P(T)-P(f)]×100/[P(b)-P(f)] (P(T) means gas pressure at T°c P(b) and P(f) for the water's boiling point and freezing point) Is it right?

It is well known that the ideal gas law applies only to an ideal gas, one consisting of particles infinitesimal in size and exhibits no interactions between the particles. Considering an ideal gas, is the ideal gas law valid under non-equilibrium conditions? For example, does the ideal gas law...

I know I can use the specific heat capacity formula to find the temperature of the water during electrolysis as long as I know the mass, specific heat constant of water and joules added beforehand: But I'm not sure how I could find the temperature of the gas produced. If the pressure was...

Is it simply the gaseous state of a liquid substance? For instance, water vapor, in this context, would be the gas state of water after having transitioned from a liquid state.

I've read a fews post about liquid hydrogen boil off, but could use a bit more clarification; insight on the following thought experiment would be really helpful: What happens if I take a 1 L steel vessel, put 1 L of liquid H2 into it, seal it off, and let it sit in a room at 25C? The density...

If you shake up a bottle of soda and it gets slightly larger because the disturbed gas in solution is trying to expand but cannot, could you use the difference in (THE SMALL AMOUNT THE BOTTLE ACTUALLY SWELLED) and the (POTENTIAL AMOUNT THE GAS WOULD SWELL IF NOT CONTAINED) to determine the...

Gas pressure in a closed chamber at constant temperature will last forever, unless leaking or chemical reactions occur. Examples are methane in underground gas reservoirs that are hundreds of thousands of years old. Gases stored in bottles. Pressure comes from the gas atoms (with velocity)...

A rectangular (simplified) container with rigid surfaces, has a certain mass of ideal gas within it, and it accelerates in free space, undergoing rectilinear motion. There are no dissipative forces. Now, since the container moves, its kinetic energy increases, and since the temperature of the...

I know the total volume of a gas cylinder, the pressure in it, and the outlet pressure that needs to be maintained. The flow rate is also known. How should I calculate the total duration the cylinder will last? Also, what should vary if the cylinder is a liquidified gas cylinder?

So perhaps I'm not the only one here on PF who's heard about this .That said, besides the gas cloud G2 concealing a low-mass star, I cannot help but wonder what azimuthal angle G2 made its closest approach to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. The reason this is relevant is because...

For the past year or so, I've been experimenting with Isobutane. I used to get it in relatively cheap canisters of r600a from amazon.com and AliExpress, and that worked fine. Now, however, AliExpress has NO purchase options for r600a, and amazon.com will not ship it to the US, even though they...

Hello, I understand when you release a compressed gas generally it comes out cooler than atmosphere. But here are my questions: When you fill the container, the gas warms up as the pressure builds. Generally it takes a long time to compress and I believe the temperature of the gas when it's...

If we connect a two metals with different Fermi levels electrons will start to flow from metal with higher Fermi level to a lower one. Untill metal with lower Fermi level will get negatively charged and the process will stop. But what if we connect a two materials with different Fermi levels...

First, may I apologize in advance if this question is in the wrong section of the forums. Given a cloud of mixed gasses and rocky material, how is spin created when a star is born? I will also give the cloud of gas a random order of movement prior to star formation. Can the physics for the...

This is just a qualitative question but feel free to show an equation if possible. Basically if you have a container with a heating element, let's say 500 W with a temperature of 2500 Kelvins and inside this box is a low pressure ideal gas, something like 1/100 of an atmosphere. Also imagine...

To obtain force from momentum we use the formula change in momentum/time. The time in the equation refers to the amount of time the force is exerted on the gas molecules. So when considering the kinetic theory of gases we are taught that F ∝ change in momentum/ time so F ∝ 2mv/(2d/v) and hence...

I am studying National 5 physics, and my exam is tomorrow. I need some last-minute help. I'm struggling a little bit with the combined gas law, P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, and I'm not sure why. It would help me a lot if you could show step-by-step how the formula is used. Thanks for your time, it's very...

A question in regards to rolling resistance. Am I wrong in thinking that not everything you hit on the road with your tire effects your gas mileage? Don't tires have a tolerance in terms of how much energy they can absorb before it effects your traction, therefore effecting your gas mileage...

In nuclear physics we have talked about the liquid drop model and the fermi gas model. My question is can a Fermi liquid and a Fermi gas be directly described using these models? Are they the same thing? i.e. If I wanted to decribe the difference between a fermi gas and a fermi liquid could I...

Hey I've been thinking of this idea for a while, If I had a small boat with a home made gas turbine engine on it to power it solely with thrust. If I put an afterburner on it and nozzle; and had a small intake for water that filtered out all of the crud. Would it be possible to generate more...

Suppose I have a cylinder of gas and at time t=0 I can turn on a strong vertical gravitational force. Let the force change quickly (but a time long compared the mean free path divided by the average gas particle velocity) to reach some constant maximum value F(z,t) = F_max. (This force can be...

Can us generate electricity just from gas? I meant not by steam generator but by ionize gas,for example from original air gas?

I understand that gas flow through a circular tube or pipe will have some understandable effects... for example the pressure drops, and the maximum flow diminishes. I also know that turbulence and the tubing surface has an effect... Without getting too specific, I just want to understand...

So I'm trying to figure out the average energy of diatomic gas molecules via the equipartition theorem at high temperature (such that it's translational , rotational and vibrational modes are activated) and to do that I need to know the degree of freedom. some websites claim it would be 6 , 3d...
