That bottom one lacks an equal sign...
boypuy2411292
Good
Ravenbreaker
"The numbers Mason! What do they mean!?"
TheDerkus
That last one doesn't have an equals sign, so it's not at all clear what it's supposed to mean.
Sypher51
I love the way i don't even understand the first one :p
OverPressure
Wait, there's no equal sign on the last one. Is this a mathses that I don't knowses?
kgarcia0623
I took P chem, passed with a B, but to this day I cannot tell you what P chem is about
medstudentkillme
Got my A in Organic Chem and never have to see this againnnnn ????
RubyPorto
I hope this goes Virial
mjwar1morgoth
Made me laugh more than I should.

Classical fluid mech was the end of me..[more rules &symbols that frustrate] Major respect for whoever is doing quantum anything!
cousteau
I think I remember the second one, deep in the depths of my memory, and I'm glad that's how far in the list I can go.
TheDogEnd
I really wish my brain intrinsically understood numbers
wieloryba
It might be a bit Gay at the beginning, though.
Starcore210
Thanks for making me feel stupid.. Time to hit the bottle and self reflect :P
Miclone92
ideally you've studied the chapter before class so you're not bouncing your head off der waals.
malfunctionm1ke
I am currently studying for my thermodynamics-exam... this shit it too real!
ibbaman11
As a graduated chemical engineering major, this gives me Vietnam flashbacks
donth8appreciat
Politicians: "P times V equals nRT. The commies will try and say it's more complicated than that. Don't you believe their propaganda!
prattleassassin
I always called it the perv-nert. Still do.
slightlysavage
The chemical engineer laughs in the distance
mycatToastwasafatasshole
Something Volume something something Rate x Time?! I got nothin'.
CertifiedAgreer
Product of pressure and volume equals product mols of gas times temperature times the gas constant R. High school chem, no idea about rest
CertifiedAgreer
It's for ideal gases so I'm gonna guess the others are for real gases somehow
neil137
ideal gas law, i learned the first bit
Tankbutt
Bio major guy here. Explain the joke
Sakkura
You maybe have used the ideal gas equation once or twice? But the less idealized the conditions get, the more shit pops up in the equation.
BuckeyeBTH
Its the expansion of the ideal gas law into various subparts. seems simple and gets progressively more torturous to solve.
cousteau
Ironic how the ideal gas equation expands to occupy all the available volume.
Tankbutt
BuckeyeBTH
It's a nerd joke. I could do the same for all of my aerospace stuff. Especially solving the math for an autopilot as a 9x9 matrix equation.
Emac94
This doesn't even include differential equations
BuckeyeBTH
It does not, but every one of those variables could represent a Diff Eq. not terrible to solve though, just use matrix math
cousteau
Partial differential equations. Eww!
postmahone
Clockwork orange?
DrMet
Indeed. The scene where they brainwash him.
kempper
What's n=?
cousteau
And v (lowercase) is the volume per mole, v=V/n, so the first formula can be rewritten as Pv=RT
DavidBrooker
Engineers like to use the mass of gas, and use a different gas constant for each gas. Dumb? Yes. But is it helpful? Unfortunately not.
BuckeyeBTH
N is the amount of substance of gas (in moles)
VoidIncarnate
number of molecules, typically in moles.
Sakkura
or atoms, in case of monatomic gases
kempper
boneh3ad
If that we could all live in an ideal world. Alas! 'Tis not to be.
geonerd
When I have gas, it tends to be unideal.
usersubbordercontrol
It's only as if math is pretty bad at some parts of explaining the universe ..
TheShadowsLengthen
Mathematics are the worst form of explanations, except for all the others.
boneh3ad
In my field I usually just hand wave reality away and use the ideal gas law anyway.
BuckeyeBTH
What field?
boneh3ad
Aerodynamics
BuckeyeBTH
Really? I got a bs in aero and we used the complex version quite a bit
CaptTaka
as a kid just going into college, thinking of majoring chem, that KS for the heads up. also the fuq is it
Morg729
You'll learn the second equation in chem II and the rest sometime before you graduate
redbagelpuppies
It's just better approximations of a physical law, they're really not that big of a deal if you're an undergraduate.
vengfish
The first equation is the ideal gas law. The rest are derivations towards the reality. Like in physics you have frictionless vacuums
vengfish
Then you get into upper level classes, and they're like, oh yeah, friction's a bitch and so is aerodynamics.
DrakeRamorayMD
This is a preview for your physical chemistry class. Enjoy
nhapache
Engineers have it too. Ideal gas law.
iamtheonewhobones
I thought the ideal gas law was enough to keep the tubes primed but not so much you shit yourself
GhostOTM
These my friend, are the malevolent beast that crawl out of physical and quantum chemistry.
woodjoiner
Often the more math you major has the more the jobs pay afterward. The more the job pays the quicker you can retire early.
RubberCatTurds
I speak chemistry. Eq1 says: "If you fill a balloon with gas and cool it, it shrinks. Pressure x volume is proportional to temperature."
RubberCatTurds
Eq5 says: "Let's mix 10 million different gasses together and do a bunch of stupid shit to it, and then not define any of the variables."
RubberCatTurds
"What would be extra cool is if I wasn't even a real equation. Seriously, can you find an = or a proportional sign in me anywhere?"
Krayotik
What exactly is this equation
Blrp0
First one: pressure times volume of an ideal gas is proportional to number of particles times temperature.
ANightAtTheCocksbury
It's the pervert equation.
cousteau
Correlates pressure and temperature of a fluid with its volume/density. The colder/more pressurized, the denser. First one's OKish for gases
HechenMountain
It's called Virial Expansion. Every picture are higher order corrections. It's used for gases and liquids with low density
eccentricreader
The first equation is the Ideal gas law. Clapeyron stated it at 1834.
BuckeyeBTH
And the rest is the addition of all the variables to allow for non-ideal parts of it.
holycow360
First one is for ideal gases then the next ones are for everything not ideal needing more information/variables to solve.
Robvp
I understood some of those words
Krayotik
Yes of course
shinydev
It tells the pressure a gas exerts on a container given certain conditions. The first one is "close enough," but wrong. The rest get closer.
shinydev
It's like Newtonian gravity. It's wrong, but easy, and depending on what you're doing, good enough.
Krayotik
Isn't newtonian gravity correct when used on objects of smaller mass? And Einstein's theory can be used universally
