Possible source of error in determining gas constant

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a potential error in a lab manual regarding the determination of the gas constant. Participants agree that teaching assistants (TAs) can sometimes provide incorrect information, and the lab manual is deemed inaccurate. There is a suggestion to escalate the issue to the course instructor for correction. The use of Microsoft Word's Equation Editor is mentioned as a more user-friendly alternative to LaTex for presenting equations. Addressing these errors is important for accurate scientific understanding.

Please see the Word attachment for my question. It was much easier for me to use Microsoft Word's Equation Editor than for me to type all that LaTex code :wink:

You are absolutely right. Sometimes TA's can be wrong. I should know, I used to be one...
 
Seconded. The lab manual is dead wrong, and the TA's a puppet. Take this to the course instructor (if you care to) and have him/her fix the error in the manual.
 

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...
