AI Thread Summary
To calculate the pressure in a sealed 5ml vessel containing 1ml of water and air at temperatures of 20C, 80C, and 120C, one must consider both the vapor pressure of water and the ideal gas law. The vapor pressure increases with temperature, affecting the total pressure in the container. It's essential to show the calculations or thought process to receive accurate guidance. Understanding how to apply the ideal gas law alongside vapor pressure concepts is crucial for solving similar problems. Providing detailed work will facilitate better assistance in determining the pressure.

Hi

I am trying to calculate the pressure in a vessel of 5ml that contains 1ml water while the rest can be considered as air. I would like to know the pressure at temperatures of 20C, 80C and 120C


I have a feeling its something to do with vapour pressure, and the ideal gas law but can't seem to work it out

Thanks in advance

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
