There was no integrating going on. It was extremely basic high school chemistry, and none of us knew any calculus at the time. I'm positive she wasn't talking about molar mass. She used the abbreviation throughout the entire year, probably hundreds of times. She even told us that we could use...

In high school, I remember one of my chemistry teachers abbreviating mole by drawing a line over an m. I haven't seen anyone else do that. I've seen mol. many many times in books and from most other teachers/professors. Is the m with the line some older method for symbolizing mole? Does...

I don't know if you already figured this out, but the only thing I can think of (and it's not really even related to the error you were getting) is that Mastering Physics requires angle measures to be in radians.

I think I get it now. Thank you very much for all your help.

The volume, but even if the factor of 0.5 is split between volume and pressure then something on the right side still has to increase. Right? Unless only the volume decreased, because then the value of volume would stay low after the experiment... hmm...

I have a question regarding the classic experiment with a [soda] can involving pressure. Here is a simplified version of the experiment, without going into too much detail: 1. Heat some water up. 2. Put the water in the can. 3. Invert the can inside an ice bath. The result is that the can is...
