    I Modeling the concentration of gas constituents in a Force Field

    I want to say True. Since there are no intermolecular forces the ideal gas law depends only on the amount of gas molecules that are in a gas, and not the properties of any of its constituent gases. This is where the partial pressure law comes from. If only the amount of gas influences the...

    I Modeling the concentration of gas constituents in a Force Field

    Yes I am. Nothing like the Van der Waals equation of state used to describe this gas, just the ideal gas law. I don't know that it would. I assume that it would if the molecular weights are far apart, but I do not know by how much, or how I would go about describing this mathematically.

    I Modeling the concentration of gas constituents in a Force Field

    Say there is a gas made up of two gas molecules: Molecule A and Molecule B. Molecule A has a mass: ma and mole fraction: na. Molecule B has a mass: mb and mole fraction: nb. The gas is at thermal equilibrium and has a constant temperature throughout itself (T) everywhere. It is placed in a...

    I What part of physics describes what happens just outside of an electron?

    I assumed this question would involved quantum electrodynamics, so that's why I posted it here. Since classical electrodynamics does not accurately describe electric fields at small distances, is there any simple equation in QED that does, like there is in classical electrodynamics with...

    I What part of physics describes what happens just outside of an electron?

    Coulomb's law for three dimensional space is an empirical law that describes the forces between two stationary point charges and is defined as: \vec{F}=\frac{K q_1 q_2 (\vec{r}_1-\vec{r}_2)}{|\vec{r}_1-\vec{r}_2|^3} From Coulomb's law, the magnitude and direction of an electric field produced by...
