    Finding temperature in Celsius using ideal gas law (PV=nRT)

    So I did (3.60)(81.37)/(1.15)(0.08206) into my calculator in order to get T in Kelvins.

    Finding temperature in Celsius using ideal gas law (PV=nRT)

    I have done the problem multiple times and am unsure of where my arithmetic problem is.

    Finding temperature in Celsius using ideal gas law (PV=nRT)

    Homework Statement If 1.15 moles of an ideal gas has a pressure of 3.60 atm, and a volume of 81.37 L, what is the temperature of the sample in degrees Celsius? Homework Equations PV=nRT p = pressure v = volume n = number of moles r = 0.08206 L atm/(mol K) T = ? The Attempt at a Solution So I...

    Logical argument with hypotheses about a, b, c, d, e and conclusion not e

    I actually see my mistake. I was thinking of Law of Excluded Middle, but that actually states x or not x which means that my point was wrong.

    Logical argument with hypotheses about a, b, c, d, e and conclusion not e

    Homework Statement Hypotheses: not a, b or not c, b→ (a and d), e→(c) Conclusion: not e 2. The attempt at a solution: So far, I have this: 1) not a as premise 2) b or not c as premise 3) b→ (a and d) as premise 4) e→(c) as premise 5) a by Step 1 and Law of Excluded Middle. 6) c is true...

    Is it too late for me to pursue engineering?

    Yes, I really thought I had no chance in engineering because I'm in no advanced math/science courses. Not many students at my school are interested in engineering and the only ones who are (all male) took AP Calculus AB and AP Physics during the senior year of their high school. I didn't know...

    Is it too late for me to pursue engineering?

    I don't have a "dream" college, but U of Rochester, RIT, Syracuse Engineering, St. Lawrence 3+2 do come into mind.

    Is it too late for me to pursue engineering?

    I am a junior in high school and unfortunately, I have not been able to take the hardest math/science classes possible. I am currently taking Regular Algebra II/Trig, Regular Chemistry, and will start College 101 Geology in the spring. That means that I will end my high school career with...
