Atmospheric pressure to gas pressure in the apparatus

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating gas pressure in an apparatus given an atmospheric pressure of 745 mm Hg. The key equation provided is P = H + G, where H is the height and G represents additional pressure. Participants express confusion due to insufficient information about the apparatus and the specific units involved. The conclusion emphasizes that without clarity on these aspects, it's challenging to provide a definitive answer. Understanding the relationship between gas pressure and atmospheric pressure is crucial for solving the problem.

Homework Statement


If the atmospheric pressure is 745 mm Hg, what is the gas pressure in the apparatus in atm?
(Hint: the gas pressure is not equal to atmospheric pressure. Which is greater Pgas or Patm?)
Be careful with your units, 10.2 cm is equal to 102 mm



Homework Equations


P=H+G


The Attempt at a Solution


P=102+0.98
P=102.98

We don't know the apparatus, we don't know what you add to what, we don't know the units. There is no way we can help or comment on the problem itself.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
