I am having trouble trying to figure out what formula I can use to determine the partial pressure of each. Is it Boyle's Law?
Chemistry
Container A holds 752 mL of ideal gas at 2.40 atm. Container B holds 179 mL of ideal gas at 4.80 atm. If the gases are allowed to mix together, what is the resulting pressure? Note: Find the partial pressure of each gas in the total volume using a formula that relates volume a...

What is the speed of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit about Earth?
physics
An airplane flies from Boston to San Francisco (a distance of 5000 km) in the morning, then immediately returns to Boston. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 240 m/s. The wind is blowing at 41 m/s from west to east, so it is "in the face" of the plane on t...
