decrease Pressure Volume

AI Thread Summary

The relationship between attractive forces and the real volume of gases compared to ideal gases is crucial in understanding gas behavior. Real gases experience intermolecular attractive forces, which affect their pressure and volume. When the real volume of a gas is reduced and attractive forces increase, the pressure typically decreases due to these intermolecular interactions, which counteract the pressure exerted by the gas particles. In contrast, ideal gases are assumed to have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces, leading to different behavior under similar conditions. Understanding these dynamics is essential for accurately predicting the behavior of real gases in various applications.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...

Thread 'Ruthenium-Iridium compound with catalytic effects'

Engineers slash iridium use in electrolyzer catalyst by 80%, boosting path to affordable green hydrogen https://news.rice.edu/news/2025/engineers-slash-iridium-use-electrolyzer-catalyst-80-boosting-path-affordable-green Ruthenium is also fairly expensive (a year ago it was about $490/ troy oz, but has nearly doubled in price over the past year, now about $910/ troy oz). I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
