Gas Liquid Solubility

AI Thread Summary

To measure CO2 solubility in various liquids, one suggested method involves placing the liquids in a CO2-rich environment and measuring the weight difference before and after exposure. Another idea is to use an upside-down glass tube, similar to a mercury barometer, to observe the shrinkage of a CO2 bubble as it dissolves in the liquid. These experimental setups aim to quantify the amount of CO2 that can be absorbed by each liquid. Further clarification or additional experimental designs could enhance the accuracy of the measurements. Effective experimentation will provide valuable insights into CO2 solubility in different liquids.

I have a few liquids and I want to determine the solubility of CO2 in each of these liquids. How can I set up an experiment to do so?

Put the liquids through a CO2 environment and weigh the difference?
Set up an upside-down glass tube (like a mercury barometer) with a CO2 bubble and see how it shrinks?

Not sure what to do, would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks!

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
