Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
Here we can use coulomb's law to find the force between two charges
As per coulombs law
]tex]F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]
here we have
now by using the above equation we have
so here the force between two charges is of above magnitude and this will be repulsive force between them as both charges are of same sign.
First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.
first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!
Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!
