Ideal gas law
First, I hope you liked your birthday presents!
Second, you might be amused at how convenient Ideal Gas Law has been at the moment. It's something that I hadn't used recently enough to remember that I knew it. I have a friend who has asked me to rig a carbon dioxide generator for a closed hydroponic greenhouse, and, for weird logistical reasons, can't use either a carbon dioxide cylinder or a propane-driven generator. So, I'm looking at a possible Rube Goldberg contraption derived from a hot chocolate dispenser, which meters calcium carbonate powder into acid. I can do the stoichiometry to know how many moles I get, but now I have to figure out how to convert moles generated into ppm in a specific volume at constant temperature. People are looking at me strangely as I walk around muttering pV = nRT. Howard C. Berkowitz 18:05, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
- Milton, maybe you should move the approval date to later to give people a chance to read it. Feel free to change anything you want; after all I did that too. --Paul Wormer 17:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Paul, you are right. I will add a week to the date. Milton Beychok 17:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
