shouldn't i set it up like this:
P(6)=(.5)(300) but then i do the math...
2P=150
75atm.
but the answer has to be (2.05 atm)
what am i doing wrong?
Your set up is not right. Where is R?
PV = nRT. You don't have R. R is 0.08205 L*atm/mol*K
2.05 atm is correct.
BTW, it works better to post your response as a response to mine instead of posting as a new question. The way you did it I had to go back, look up the original problem, then come back here to answer it.
could you expand on how you got 0.08205.
i missed that day.
I looked it up in the back of the book. R is a constant. PV = nRT is called the universal gas law and R is called the universal gas constant. R is 0.08205 L*atm/mol*K when P is in atmospheres. R is 8.314 when P is in kPa.
thanks again bob
It seems like you're trying to calculate the probability of an event and then using that probability to determine a corresponding value. However, the formula P(6) = (0.5)(300) doesn't seem to be appropriate in this context.
To calculate the probability of an event, you would typically use the formula P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes. However, in your case, it's not clear what event you are trying to calculate the probability for.
If you could provide more context or clarify what you are trying to calculate, I can help you understand the correct approach to solve the problem.
