Standard Definition and 1000 Threads

Homework Statement To preface, I believe this question is equally applicable to either the math or engineering homework forum, but I am having more trouble with the math part than the actual programming. I can't do any programming (with the understanding that linear programming doesn't...

My A level Chemistry textbook defines Lattice Energy as "the enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions under standard conditions"; a definition which I can't fully grasp because of the "standard conditions" part. How can gaseous ions exist under standard...

Dear Fellows, If we fit our data to a quadratic equation then What is meant by standard error for linear and quaratic coefficients ? I know that standard error is the standard deviation from the Sampling data. But for individual coefficients what is its interpretation ? Best Wishes Masood

I've worked in calibration for a few years and I know that my equipment has to be calibrated by a standard that is a certain amount more accurate than the piece of equipment I'm calibrating, but where exactly does it end where the most accurate piece of equipment is calibrated by the absolute...

In the standard model gravitron is a particle but Higgs boson is not. The Higgs field causes particles to acquire mass. Mass generates a gravitation field. Is gravitron is in any way related to Higgs boson? Is the Higgs field any way related to gravitation field?

I am presented a review of data which gives: vapour pressures of a liquid have been measured and fit to the following equation: Log10 (mmHg) = -3571/T + 8.999 The melting point has been determined to be 392.7 K. A Cp value given for the liquid is 250 J/mol K and the ΔSvap is 117 J/mol K...

Hi. I've been reading that if one places a Dp brane in a 10d space then it's possible to have a string with [11] Chan-Paton index i.e. a string that starts and ends on the same Dp brane. Since the separation of the brane with itself is 0, this string corresponds to a massless particle. Why is...

What is the significance of the standard deviation (equal to the mean) in an exponential distribution? For example, as compared to the standard deviation in the normal distribution, which conforms to the '68-95-99.7' rule? thanks

There are quite subtle gauge anomaly cancellations in the standard model. Does anybody know a good summary about the algebraic constraints for number of fermions per generation, value of electroweak charges, etc.?

Hello I am working on deriving the expression relating the equilibrium constant K to the change in Gibbs energy. This part seems to be followed okay, but here I am not following why the change in Gibbs energy of reaction is defined this way. I can see why K is defined in a way because...

Hello! I'm working on creating a sci-fi setting for a tactical space combat video game and short story series, and I had a few questions I couldn't find much info on after googling. I'll be playing a little bit loosely with the laws of physics for the sake of gameplay and storytelling, but I...

this is thing I'm thinking about for few years. why standard passenger car diesel engines are so limited in engine capacities range? if we take petrol engines, there are anything from 1.0 liter to 3.0l Inline 4 cylinders, 2.0-4.0l 6 cylinders (or even bigger in USA), 4-7l V8 etc. but take...

In my previous two math classes I'd get the answer wrong if I put the number first then the variable as my answer. Now in this class this way of doing it is wrong. I'm seriously confused now. For instance the last two classes said that it was standard practice to write an answer like: 3x+4. This...

If thermodynamic temperature can be interpreted as the average kinetic energy in a system, is there a quantity defined as the standard deviation? For example, let's say you poured some hot water into a cup of cold water. The instant you poured it the standard deviation of the system would be...

In the Gibbs free energy equation, does the standard change in entropy equal q(sys)/T(system)? Or in math terms: T(surr) * q(sys)/T(sys) = T(surr) * dS(standard) Thus dS(standard) = q(sys)/T(sys) (surr) = surroundings (sys) = systems (standard) = at standard conditions

We're doing electrochemistry this week and this concept confuses greatly. I know that voltage is the work per unit charge. And electrons move from high potential(is this voltage as well?) to low potential- what is meant by this by the way? How is this related to standard reduction potential? If...

Homework Statement Here is a slide in my notes: I am kind of confused about mean and standard deviation. So in my notes it says X1 to Xn are independent measurements. Then it says each independent measurement has a mean μ. But how is this possible, if they are independent measurements (in...

good day everyone, I wonder if anyone can direct me please on the international standard number or name that explain the safety and standard procedures in better distribution of power in breakers and panels from transformers. in short, as I learned in my school and as best practice that...

In some textbooks ##\Delta \hat{x}## is called dispersion of coordinate ##\Delta \hat{x}=(\langle \hat{x^2} \rangle-\langle \hat{x} \rangle ^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}##. For me that is standard deviation. What do you think?

How to transform a random variable CDF to a standard normal Given F(x) = 1- exp (-sqrt x), for x greater that 0 Thanks.

There are several ways to show the one-to-one correspondence between P(N) (= the power set of the natural numbers) and the set of the reals (or, equivalently, the set of reals in the interval [0,1).) Continued fractions, and all that. However, one argument is the following (sorry, this argument...

What is a Standard State or Reference State of an element? Can someone please give me a simple explanation of what a standard state or reference state is? I don't quite understand the way wiki describes it which is - The standard state, also known as reference state, of an element is...

In the standard model, the Lagrangian contains scalar and spinor and vector fields. But when we consider spontaneous symmetry breaking, we only account for the terms contain only scalar fields, " the scalar potential", in the Lagrangian. And if the scalar fields have vacuum expectation value...

Could you have a hypothetical universe with only photons, electrons, and positrons by adjusting the parameters of the Standard Model to eliminate all the "other" stuff? If so is String Theory flexible enough to model a hypothetical universe with only photons, electrons, positrons, and...

Hello, I am confused about the following scenario. Suppose I have the reaction CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (g) and I am asked to solve for the heat of reaction at 800 C. My query is the following: when finding the heat of reaction at standard state, which heat of formation I should use...

This paper, http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.2717, discusses an alternative model for SN1a progenitors and offers observational predictions to test it based on SN2014J. If the model is validated it would have far reaching consequences for cosmology.

After filling out the table, I used it to finally calculate the standard deviation as 0.105. Just to make sure, I ran it through Microsoft Excel and got 0.942809042. I put two together and figured I'm doing something wrong after the xw column because Excel agrees that the mean is also 1.7...

Hi; I've been trying to solve the problem myself but i really don't what could be wrong; The problem says : Make the change of variables x=ucos−vsin y=usin+vcos where the angle 0<(phi)<2 is chosen in order to eliminate the cross product term in x^2+xy+y^2=6 Then find the standard form of...

I am a programmer and physics fan. A speaker (Lawrence Krauss?) at https://origins.asu.edu/events/great-debate-parallel-realities-probing-fundamental-physics (not on youtube yet) said physics theories beyond the standard model are an under-determined problem. There are 7,000 theories that fit...

I am wondering whether discussions of inflationary cosmology in these forums generally includes or explicitly excludes prior Plank era and GUT era dynamics. I never gave it any thought until reading the following. The Wikipedia article provides a perspective I just don't remember from other...

For a set with n points of data, why is the "degree of freedom" of the standard variance n-1? Hell, what does "degree of freedom" actually mean? Heck, my book "proves" this by saying that since ##\sum_1^n (x_i - \bar{x}) = 0## (obviously), then ##\sum_1^n (x_i - \bar{x})^2## must have n-1...

Hi all, Would a heading of 330 degrees be equivalent to a standard angle measurement of 30 degrees? I'm used to calculating by subtracting the heading from 90, but the angle is too large for this problem. I know it seems to be a ridiculously simple question compared to others on this forum...
