I just archived the last batch of postings

That is why this page looks rather empty at this moment. Milton Beychok 07:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

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)

Raising inline TeX

Milton, I saw that you raised/lowered LaTeX, but see my comment here: http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,2470.0.html --Paul Wormer 08:00, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
