    if the gas decreases in size the molecules will subside and the pressure will drop. (Hess, 2016) In order to understand this mathematically, and get the approximate value, p (pressure) and v (volume) = the k (constant) this is shown as PV=k and if comparing the same matter with different conditions the equation is demonstrated as P1V1=P2V2. (Hess, 2016) This will give you an approximation in numbers, if the volume, and or pressure, has either increased or decreased. Knowing this has contributed

    The Split Personality of Hydraulic Fracturing There is wide agreement among most experts and the public that the current energy sources we use in the United States are in need of a replacement. Reliance on the fossil fuels of coal and oil are problematic for at least two reasons: their negative impact on the environment (both in extraction and their use) and the reliance on supplies of these from other countries, which has created problems on the geopolitical front. Nuclear fission remains a controversial

    not replace a pressure relief system but can contribute to the division of the separator and the storage tanks.  As a result of the valves remaining closed, there was a build-up of high pressure purge gas within the vessel. Hence leading to one aspect of the failure.  Whilst designing the system, Sonat considered the third stage separator as a vapour recovery tower which was identified as a storage tank. Consequently, the design was done accordingly and there was a lack of a pressure relief system

    Abstract: This experiment was performed to determine the molar mass of an unknown using the ideal gas equation. The measurements needed to determine the molar mass were obtained by heating the unknown to 90 degrees Celsius while recording the required measures such as the mass, volume, and temperature as the unknown became a gas. Then the measurements were inserted into the ideal gas equation PV=nRT. Using the ideal gas formula and measurements determined the molar mass was found by rearranging

    in pressure inside the jar caused the water to rise. Prediction: (30 words max.) If the pressure in the jar remains atmospheric, then the water level will not rise. Rational: (100 words max.) Inside the jar, the flame consumed the oxygen and produced carbon dioxide until it ran out of oxygen and the flame was extinguished. Since pressure is reliant on volume as seen in the formula p=(NkT)/V, a change in the volume of molecules in the jar will also cause a change in pressure. If the pressure inside

    insecurities. The false concept of ideal beauty of body image is displayed in the media and it pressures young women and men to accept this particular notion of beauty. The role of the media comes into play because it pressures individuals to give in, since they appeal to our need, which is to be accepted. Although, people oppose to media pressuring individuals to conform, it is clear

    The article, “College Pressures”, written by William Zinsser, explores the pressures associated with college and its reflection on student work and attitude. In 1979, the time this work was published, Zinsser was the head of a residential college at Yale University (Zinsser, 437). Emerged in campus life, Zinsser examines the student behavior affiliated with the four sources of pressure he identifies as the symptoms of attending college. After reviewing Zinsser’s article, I can relate certain aspects

    Acetone Molar Mass

    The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate how to calculate the molar mass of a volatile liquid using the ideal gas law. By vaporizing a small sample of acetone and condensing it into liquid while measuring temperature, pressure, volume, and mass, the number of moles of the gas substance and its molar mass can be calculated. An accurate calculation of the moles of acetone gas was allowed due to the hole in the foil of the test tube, which ensured that excess oxygen was driven out of the test
