    Ah, I suck at chemistry, but I will give it a try:

    CaO (s) + H2O (l) → Ca+2 (aq) + 2OH- (aq)

    Ok, I can't think of anything better right now

    Mathematically, the pressure of a mixture of gases that do not react with each other can be defined as the summation
    or where represent the partial pressure of each component.

    Who discovered that law?

    In signal processing, Fourier Transfrom converts time domain signals to another domain. What is that domain.

    Not sure, but probably the domain of frequency, because this is the reason Fourier transform is used in mechanics

    A Newtonean fluid is a fluid (like water), where the viscosity does not depend on the forces acting on the substance. It only depends on temperature and pressure.
    So in other words you'll never get the substance to stop behaving fluidic, just by using external force.

    The Raman effect is the skin pallor common among bachelors and students in college apartments from 25% of their diet being Raman noodles.
