The equation is. The correction factor

accounts for size of gases.
The bob temperature scale is a linear temperature scale where at 1 atm, water freezes at 42°B and boils at 239°B. Convert -53 °C to °B.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Il jump in here (even tho im not doing the event...)
What factor of a reaction must be negative for it to be spontaneous?

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
In the equation for Gibbs free Energy Delta G should end up negative for the reaction to be spontaneous.shrewdPanther46 wrote:Il jump in here (even tho im not doing the event...)

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
So here are my calculation...there are 1.97 degrees Celsius for every 1 degree Bob.raxu wrote:There is a question in thereWhatScience? wrote:Hey, I am pretty much quoting you to give you a notification that it is your turn to give a question.raxu wrote:I only know two scenarios: when the molecules are relatively large (e.g. octane) and when there is strong intermolecular interactions (e.g. water vapor).

42-(53*1.97)=-62.41
So my guess is -62.41 degrees B. Is this correct? I highly doubt it as I have never seen a problem like this.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
I further believe this calculation because I created an equation for Celsius as x related to Bob as y and this is what came up. Very interesting question.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Convection is a form of heat transfer among fluids. What is the basic property that allows it to work?raxu wrote:Yes! Go for it!

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
[hide]
Convection is heat transfer by the mass movement of molecules from one place to another (Giancoli). Convection occurs because hot fluids rise. This is because when a fluid is heated, in most cases, its volume increases. Thus, its density decreases, and it experiences a buoyant force propelling it upwards. [/hide]
Next question: During photosynthesis, cells combine "disorderly" compounds (CO2 and H2O) into "orderly" glucose molecules. Is this a violation of the second law of thermodynamics?
