The e-3 is the conversion factor from m^3 to liters, which is why it's included. The third is because I've had success going from Pascals to Atmospheres before with this formula, and I'm a little n00bish with using it. Lemme re-write those with units...
nR = 100 kPa * 0.01 m^3 * (1 L / 1e-3...
I have tried every combination of terms that I can think of within PV=nRT to find nR. Here are the three expressions that I have come up with, none of which are correct based on the answer to this question...
nR = 100 * 0.01e-3 / 300 (the expression with kPa as the units of pressure)
nR...
Nope, this problem was asked this week. I didn't notice the date when putting this problem into Google looking for an answer. Sorry! The school loves recycling old questions...
The problem is that T3 isn't a given quantity. T3 must be found out. Here is the problem in its entirety...
(We're probably both in the same class, phys 213 at UofI, so it's the same problem)
The state 2 pressure is 4/3 atm. How can you find T3?
Never mind. Found it. It has to do with...
