Finding out pressure in a container if you know temp' and state-of-matter ratios

AI Thread Summary
To determine the pressure in a container with water at 150 Celsius, knowing the gas-to-liquid ratio and temperature allows for the use of a phase diagram. The phase diagram provides critical data on the relationship between temperature, pressure, and the state of matter. By identifying the specific point on the diagram that corresponds to the given temperature and phase ratio, the pressure can be inferred. This method relies on accurate phase diagrams that reflect the properties of water under varying conditions. Understanding these relationships is essential in chemistry for predicting system behavior.

Let's say you have a container with water in it. Let's say that you know that the temperature inside the container is 150 Celsius. Let's say that you have the ability to see inside the container and see the ratio of gas to liquid.

So, if you know the ratio and know the temperature, can you find out the pressure then by just looking at a phase diagram?

I would assume so if you had all the required values other than the pressure.
 
Ah...chemistry. It just makes sense. Thanks :)
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
