The closed tank of fig. p.2.34 is filled with water and is 5 ft long. the pressure gage on the tank reads 7 psi. determine: (a) the height, h, in the open water column, (b) the gage pressure acting on the bottom tank surface ab, and (c) the absolute pressure of the air in the top of the tank if the local atmospheric pressure is 14.7 ps

In the derivation of rrkm theory, a factor of 1/2 is introduced when equalizing the rates of formation and decomposition of activated complex as keal-hr) = ko this is clearly against the assumption of transition state theory that states all the activated complex in the transition state iss going to the product. find the reason why this factor is introduced here.

How would a small bar magnet be oriented when placed at position x?

An insulated 40 ft^3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia and 120°f. a valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia. the air temperature during this process is kept constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. determine the electrical work done during this process.
