  2. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    Using his extensive measurements of the properties of gases, [6] [7] Mendeleev also calculated it with high precision, within 0.3% of its modern value. [ 8 ] The gas constant occurs in the ideal gas law: P V = n R T = m R s p e c i f i c T {\displaystyle PV=nRT=mR_{\rm {specific}}T} where P is the absolute pressure , V is the volume of gas, n ...

  3. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    Here because is a multivalued function, the integral must be divided into 3 parts corresponding to the 3 real roots of the vdW equation in the form, (,) (this can be visualized most easily by imagining Fig. 1 rotated ); the result is a special case of material equilibrium. [62]

  4. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    Another equivalent result, using the fact that =, where n is the number of moles in the gas and R is the universal gas constant, is: =, which is known as the ideal gas law. If three of the six equations are known, it may be possible to derive the remaining three using the same method.

  5. Boltzmann constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_constant

    Although Boltzmann first linked entropy and probability in 1877, the relation was never expressed with a specific constant until Max Planck first introduced k, and gave a more precise value for it (1.346 × 10 −23 J/K, about 2.5% lower than today's figure), in his derivation of the law of black-body radiation in 1900–1901. [11]

  6. Partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

    In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives.. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to how x is thought of as an unknown number solving, e.g., an algebraic equation like x 2 − 3x + 2 = 0.

  7. Marcus theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_theory

    For λ o is dependent on R, λ o increases for larger R and the opening of the parabola smaller. It is formally always possible to close the parabola in Fig. 2 to such an extent, that the f-parabola intersects the i-parabola in the apex. Then always ΔG ‡ = 0 and the rate k reaches the maximum diffusional value for all very negative ΔG 0.

  8. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The term absolute value has been used in this sense from at least 1806 in French [3] and 1857 in English. [4] The notation | x |, with a vertical bar on each side, was introduced by Karl Weierstrass in 1841. [5] Other names for absolute value include numerical value [1] and magnitude. [1]

  9. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.
