Atmospheric pressure

Private high schools and colleges are becoming increasingly difficult to get into. These pressures trickle down into middle and elementary schools as kids are pushed to be in accelerated programs and constantly reach the top of their class. Even A’s are no longer good enough because one should be getting the A+ or a perfect 100%. One student reported…

Unlike solids and liquids, gases are known to have both variable volume and pressure. The gas laws were formulated in the late 18th century by various scientists to develop a relationship between the volume, pressure, temperature, and the number of moles of a gas.1 This has allowed scientists today to manipulate these variables in controlled lab settings, to utilize these laws in new innovations such as ventilation systems, and to explain observed biological phenomenon like breathing. Boyle’s…

tested, using a gas pressure sensor and a temperature probe, in order to produce constants for both these laws. In Part A, a setup with a 20 mL syringe and a gas pressure sensor was used to measure the effect of a change in volume on the pressure of a gas, and to obtain various data points that were used to measure 4 values for a Boyle’s Law constant. In part B, a setup with a water bath, and a rubber stopper assembly in an Erlenmeyer flask was used to measure the change in pressure of a gas…

will be changed to mm=gRT/PV instead of the usual PV=nRT. There are several gas laws exhibited in this experiment. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures allows us to determine the pressure of the gas by subtracting the water vapor pressure from the total pressure of the flask. The total pressure would be the barometric pressure for the day and the water vapor pressure would vary with the temperature. The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) is…

Paintball is a game that shoots out markers or paintballs, that when they hit, the markers explode causing a paint mark on a person, a piece of cover, and trees.Paintball is also a game where many people do different types of games like capture the flag to different battle scenarios. Before paintball was a game paintballs was used to mark cattle for shipping purposes. Many people play this game with pump guns. These guns have an air pump attached and also a hopper.The hopper is the top piece of…

x is the thickness of the plastic film, A is the surface area available for mass transfer, t is the time, and ∆p is the change in permeant partial pressure across the film. Hence the permeability coefficient (P) is the proportionality constant between the flow of the penetrant gas per unit film area per unit time and the driving force (partial pressure difference) per unit film thickness. The amount of gas penetrating through the film is expressed in terms of either moles per unit time (flux)…

Solubility property of ozone is dependent on several extrinsic factors such as temperature, pressure, composition of the medium, pH, gas flow rate, etc. Henry’s law says that the pressure of the gas exerts above the liquid is directly proportional to the solubility of the ozone (Bablon et al., 1991). De Smedt et al. (2001) revealed that solubility of ozone is dependent on pH, temperature and type of additives of the aqueous solution. Levanov et al. (2008) found that solubility of ozone decreased…

A water jet cutter, commonly called a water jet, is a tool that uses a very high-pressure jet of water or a mixture of water and an abrasive to cut a wide variety of materials. A water jet that does not use abrasives is referred to as a pure water jet or water-only cutting [1]. For a pure water jet (Figure 1) the water is pressurized to the range of 20 - 94 ksi, 138 - 649 MPa at the inlet and forced through an orifice with a diameter of between 0.25 - 4 mm creating a very thin high velocity…

Ferroelectricity Among the ferroelectric materials, the static dielectric constant depends on the temperature under the relation: Curie – Weiss relation: €r = P + Q/ (T-Tc), (T> Tc), P, Q are constants temperature independent. C = Curie constant Tc = Curie temperature A transition in phase is observed at temperature Tc. Above this, the material remains in Paraelectric phase (the phase where the elementary dipoles of different crystal unit cells are…

variables of state of an ideal gas with the following equation: P V = n R T, where P is the pressure of the gas in atmospheres, V is the volume of the gas in liters, n is moles of the gas, and T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin degrees. R is the ideal gas constant. The Ideal Gas Law is a combined summary of Boyle’s Law, Charles’s Law, and the Avogadro’s Law. This Law works best under low pressure, room temperature (298K) environments because these environments allow gases to behave…
