AI Thread Summary
Dalton's Law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas, which can be additive. The confusion arises from the interpretation of how temperature affects these pressures. The correct answer should reflect that the total pressure is not influenced by temperature changes, which contradicts the additive response given. Participants express surprise at the feedback received, indicating a misunderstanding of the question or the answer choices. Clarification of the question and the principles of Dalton's Law is necessary for accurate responses.

Can someone explain why this answer is wrong? I answered additive since the gases are added . Was told correct answer is not affected by changes in tempure. Qeustin was Daltons law states that when more than one is present in a container,ther pressures are and I answered additive. other choices where constant and identical

It is hard to figure out what your question is.
I guess your answer is right, and I am surprised that the other answer is none of the choices you posted.
 

Thread 'Ramjet effect on drone'

I am following someone on Youtube who has built a rocket shaped (4 proprllers) drone for the world speed record ... He was having problems with internal heat from electical control gear and battery inside the sealed rocket (about 1kw waste heat) Speed is 500km/hr , I suggested a 4mm hole in the tip of the nose and 8mm hole at rear which should alow sufficient air cooling .. I said this will increase thrust because the air exiting is hotter .. a bit similar to a ram jet ... was I correct...
