How do I determine temperature and pressure rise whenever mols of gases are added in a isolated room?
Let's consider a fully isolated room, no gas or heat flowing from it.
We consider gases ($\ce{O2,N2,CO2}$) to follow the ideal gas law, and no chemical reaction occurs between them.
Pressure $p$, ...

According to PV=nRT,if we increase temp,no of moles will decrease,but no of moles is dependent on mass,mass is constant,then how can moles change?
We know the ideal gas equation is PV=nRT,then, according to this,if we keep Pressure,volume to be constant,then on increasing temperature,no of moles will reduce,this would mean that mass of matter or ...

Why does high blood gas partition coefficient of a inhalational anaesthetic drug mean slower induction of anesthesia?
High blood gas partition coefficient of a drug corresponds to higher solubility of the drug in blood leading to high concentration of the drug in blood with respect to gas (air in alveoli). If the ...
