    Question about stability of Ozone

    You mean Delta G=-RTlnK? Yes. So you mean to say that the reaction still occurs but equilibrium favours formation of O2. OK I get your point, So now my question is why do we say the reaction is non spontaneous when Delta G is positive? What is the meaning of spontaneity?

    Question about stability of Ozone

    The enthalpy of formation of O3 is positive. Change in entropy for the formation of O3 is also negative( as the number of gaseous moles is decreasing). This means that Delta G is positive for all temperatures. So formation of ozone should be non spontaneous at all temperatures. Then how does it...

    Please help me with this mechanics problem -- pulling one end of a spring

    Sure I have used some questionable assumptions, like the fact that tension, and hence elongation, is constant everywhere. But that's what the question wants us to assume. So for JEE Mains aspirants it's enough. And I have also mentioned a Disclaimer so that all those who aren't actually...

    Please help me with this mechanics problem -- pulling one end of a spring

    Yeah you are right about vijayramakrishnan not being interested... Still I have posted the answer in case he checks back As for the second part, this is a question from JEE Mains, a high school engineering entrance examination conducted in India. Since I myself am a engineering aspirant, I know...

    Please help me with this mechanics problem -- pulling one end of a spring

    I guess your main problem is why velocity of an element is proportional to the length of spring behind it. So I have come up with a intuitive way to understand it. Imagine the spring to be made of many little elements. Since the elongation is uniform, each elements of the spring is elongated the...
