Gas in a 748mL cylinder of a diesel engine has a pressure of 1.72 atm

AI Thread Summary
To determine the volume of gas in a 748mL cylinder of a diesel engine when compressed from 1.72 atm at 306K to 46.5 atm at 777K, the ideal gas law can be applied. The initial conditions include a volume of 748mL, pressure of 1.72 atm, and temperature of 306K. The final conditions require calculating the new volume at a pressure of 46.5 atm and temperature of 777K. Users are encouraged to show their calculations and reasoning to receive assistance, adhering to forum policies. Accurate application of gas laws will yield the required volume.

The gas in a 748mL cylinder of a diesel engine has a pressure of 1.72 atm at 306K. What will be the volume of the gas when the piston compresses it to 46.5 atm and 777K?

Use one of the gas laws to get started.
 


Separate your initials and finals, and indicate given data versus needed. Also, as chemistree suggested, locate a gas law that applies to solve that type of question, when considering your given and needs.

Good luck!

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

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...
