[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 131482, member: 1285"] Re: Help me understand the concept of speaker “throw” please. Water has one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, so while the molecular weight of O2 is 16+16=32, the molecular weight of water is 16+1+1=18. Nitrogen is slightly lighter than oxygen 14+14=28 and CO2 is very heavy in this comparison at 12+16+16=44. Not that there is a lot of CO2 in the air normally, but it might get higher inside a full auditorium. However, normal dry air have an average molecular weight of just under 29, so the water vapour is significantly lighter. When discussing sound, O2 is rather less relevant than N2, it is actually the nitrogen that mainly governs how sound behave, ....and oxygen is only responsible for the misbehaviour :razz: . A hard core audiophile would not only have oxygen-free copper in his cables, but be listening in an oxygen-free atmosphere :D~:-D~:grin: [/QUOTE]
