Hello, is there a way to eliminate the possibility of a reaction having one single step? For example, the reaction NO_2(g) + CO(g) \to NO(g) + CO_2 (g) appears to me to be single stepped, but my textbook gives the reaction in multiple steps and does not elaborate on how the individual steps...

Referring to a DC generator: one way to counter armature reaction is to shift the brushes. But I don't get how it works. The direction of armature flux also changes when the brushes are shifted, so why does the MNA (magnetic neutral axis) not also rotate further.. If it does rotate further...

Hello guys, The title might be slightly misleading, it's not related to general physics. It's a hypothetical question that's far from being realistic of practical; Suppose you have a very very long bar, and suppose it's layed on a type of material with no friction, a person stands at the 1st...

Hi! In most textbooks on chemical physics/thermodymanics it is said that under fixed pressure the heat of reaction equals change of enthalpy of the system since dU = \delta Q - p\cdot dV, and hence d(U+pV) = \delta Q. But my question is: why they do not write a term +\mu\cdot dN which describes...
