I read it backwards. I make that mistake too often. It is testing the theory of compressibility factor of gasses The volume calculated using the ideal gas law would be higher than the measured volume at 200 atm.
Yeah, sorry! the error was due to copy and pasting , it is CH4
I read it backwards. I make that mistake too often. It is testing the theory of compressibility factor of gasses The volume calculated using the ideal gas law would be higher than the measured volume at 200 atm.
PV/RT will always equal 1 for an ideal gas, so you can draw a line at y=1 to represent an ideal gas.
Then you can quickly see that V is the only variable item in the ratio so the measured V is low at 200 atm, and high at 600 atm. Thats the way you should look at it.
The first way I looked at it, which is kind of a time trap was to analyze the slope of the curve fir CH4 between 200 atm, and 600 atm, and found that a 3x change in P corresponded to a V.fnl of 2V.i/3. And for the ideal gas we know a 3x increase in P will give 0.33V.i. The ratio of calculated to measured at 200 atm was about 1:0.7 and the ratio at 600 atm was about 0.33:0.45
it make sense now !
Hey I'm also taking the MCAT on May 20th... going to be taking a full load of courses this coming spring, including a TPR prep course, but the university courses are all going to be covering MCAT material (Biochem 2, physics 2, chemistry research, psych, and maybe socio [if I decide I can't learn psych or socio on my own]). Just finished putting together my study plan for the next 5 months using two full TPR sets and their prep course, plus khan academy, and old university textbooks... feeling good
I'm a double major in Chemistry and Philosophy, and I've looked at some of the CARS material already and am not intimidated. I recommend to anyone who doesn't have a strong reading comprehension background to pick up some introductory level philosophy texts to supplement any article reading you may be doing already.
Hi, I will probably take a six month gap and will work and volunteer.
To be honest, I really haven't even started anything. I've been abroad this break and haven't had much time. I intend on doing content review all of Jan and February with questions intertwined and then moving on to primarily questions
For what I hear from must people doing both is the best, although the practice material should vary in the different prep stages. So for example, if it has been a long time since you took physics, start doing content review and 1/3 of EK 1001, plus some Khan videos/passages and other free sources out there. The same can be done for other sections. Now, once you cover all content review, start using other sources which are usually not free or cheap, such as AAMC qbank/question packs, BR/TPR/Kaplan/EK full lengths. I would suggest leaving AAMC full length for the last stage of the prep, maybe when you are a month or less away from the actual MCAT.
Isn't internal energy = capacity to do work. So the clay ball has no more grav potential after falling and sticking? So then by elimination II only (1.)
I know KAPLAN's questions are so stupid, they will literally teach you "the elimination strategy" and then ask you a question where 3 out of the 4 options are completely out of scope. It's ridiculous.
Honestly, this is a dumb question. It seems as if it is from kaplan haha
Which one did you take? I did the free Gold Standard test the other day and seriously questioned if I am capable of doing thisThat awkward moment when you take a half length diagnostic and do MISERABLY.
Lol time to actually get serious
