Homework Statement
What is the pressure inside a $50.0$ L container holding $105.0$ kg of argon gas at $20^\circ$ C?
Homework Equations
Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT
The Attempt at a Solution
From the ideal gas law, I get
[itex]
P=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{\frac{105.0\times 10^3g}{36g/mol}\times 0.08214\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol\cdot K}\times 293^\circ K}{50.0 L}=25258atm
[/itex]
which seems much too large. Am I doing something wrong?
