Gas Gas law Ideal gas Ideal gas law Law Volume

AI Thread Summary

The volume of one mole of an ideal gas at 300 K and 1 atm is being calculated using the ideal gas law, PV=nRT. The initial calculation yielded 2494 L, which is incorrect due to improper unit usage for pressure. The correct volume should be closer to 24.1 L, aligning with the standard molar volume of an ideal gas at these conditions. The error highlights the importance of using the correct units in calculations. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving gas law problems accurately.

You must use the correct units fo pressure

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
