  2. Le Chatelier's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Chatelier's_principle

    If we were to decrease pressure by increasing volume, the equilibrium of the above reaction will shift to the left, because the reactant side has a greater number of moles than does the product side. The system tries to counteract the decrease in partial pressure of gas molecules by shifting to the side that exerts greater pressure.

  3. Production–possibility frontier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production–possibility...

    The production-possibility frontier can be constructed from the contract curve in an Edgeworth production box diagram of factor intensity. [12] The example used above (which demonstrates increasing opportunity costs, with a curve concave to the origin) is the most common form of PPF. [ 13 ]

  4. Rybczynski theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rybczynski_theorem

    The PPF and thus production will shift to point B. Production of clothing, the labour-intensive good, will rise from C 1 to C 2. Production of cars, the capital-intensive good, will fall from S 1 to S 2. If the endowment of capital rose the capital constraint would shift out causing an increase in car production and a decrease in clothing ...

  5. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    For a reversible reaction, the equilibrium constant can be measured at a variety of temperatures. This data can be plotted on a graph with ln K eq on the y-axis and ⁠ 1 / T ⁠ on the x axis. The data should have a linear relationship, the equation for which can be found by fitting the data using the linear form of the Van 't Hoff equation

  6. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    The pressure on a pressure-temperature diagram (such as the water phase diagram shown above) is the partial pressure of the substance in question. A phase diagram in physical chemistry , engineering , mineralogy , and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct ...

  7. Pressure jump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_Jump

    The volume change can thus be understood to be the pressure dependency of the change in Gibbs free energy associated with the reaction. When a single step in a reaction is perturbed in a pressure jump experiment, the reaction follows a single exponential decay function with the reciprocal time constant (1/τ) equal to the sum of the forward and ...

  8. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    However, fluids can exert pressure normal to any contacting surface. If a point in the fluid is thought of as an infinitesimally small cube, then it follows from the principles of equilibrium that the pressure on every side of this unit of fluid must be equal. If this were not the case, the fluid would move in the direction of the resulting force.

  9. Photosynthetically active radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetically_active...

    PPF values all photons from 400 to 700 nm equally, while YPF weights photons in the range from 360 to 760 nm based on a plant's photosynthetic response. [8] PAR as described with PPF does not distinguish between different wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm, and assumes that wavelengths outside this range have zero photosynthetic action.
