Physics question (1 Viewer)

in a sealed container with two chemicals creating a gas would it create more pressure if the container was completely full or if the container was half full

 
Completely full as there are more reactants which will thus create more gas.

Its a chemistry question, likely. Likely the chemicals are reacting in the presence of air (Oxygen), and that is likely needed for a more vigorous reaction and creation of pressure. If that is the case more air space would likely create more pressure. If the chemicals do not need the air, or oxygen to react then it is a physics question and the fuller container will build more pressure.

 
I went to a psychic once. She charged me like $40 just to tell me i would live a long life. Didn't seem worth it :shrug:

Well... did you live a long life?
don't know. i haven't reached 30 yet. i won't consider it long until i reach 75 or so
Well if it makes you feel better, I heard from a pretty reliable source, that you're going to live a long life. So no worries!

:banned: :pickle: :hifive:
sweet!

thanks! :thumbup:

 
I'm going with completely full, with the assumption the 2 chemicals producing the gas are less elastic than the gas produced(e.g. liquids that resist compression).

With a given volume of gas, you will have a higher pressure in a smaller effective vessel than a larger one.

Unless you did 400+ hits of acid in college. Then all bets are off.

I believe we could find a reaction that would also reduce pressure in the container.
Yes, but lets leave interaction with Patriots employees out of this.

 
That's a hell of a way to word a question. Congrats on that. Even so, I think it would create an equal amount of pressure in both cases. That's my guess.

I don't think that would be possible unless one chemical was already in a gaseous state.

MOP + (Tu)(Na) = (FU)!

WARNING: The amount of hot gas produced by this formula will almost assuradly make any container explode.
