@Photon336

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

So I want to use the equation PV = mRT not PV = nRT m is the mass

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

Look at this table, page 5

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah let me see

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

page 4

OpenStudy (photon336):

nice table

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

That table will break my neck if I stare at it for too long.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

I am trying to solve for Volume I can't get the units straigtened out

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

For my exams she is giving us this table and I won't be able to solve for n when I don't have m or M

OpenStudy (kl0723):

so then, this is more algebra than unit coversion...

OpenStudy (photon336):

well n = m/M m = mass of gas M = molecular weight of gas.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

in the able R = R/M , the R on top should have a line above it.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

ratio of gas constant to molecular weight

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[n = \frac{ m }{ M } = \frac{ grams }{ \frac{ grams }{ mole } } = moles\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

what units are you supposed to use for R maybe if we know that we can figure this out \[pV = mRT \]

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah, because M is the molecular weight in grams/mole

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

I am not going to use PV = mRT I want to use PV = nRT so n = m/M so how would I find m ? @confluxepic

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

I am not given a mass soooo....
