Chemistry Where Did I Go Wrong in My Gas Law Calculation?
PV=nRT P*1L = 6 moles * 0.0821*298 (I added up all the moles and solved for pressure) P =146.79 atm 146.79 atm * V = 2 moles Ar * 0.0821* 298 (I plugged in the moles for argon and solved for volume) V= 0.333 L Answer key says the answer is 1 Liter. Where did I go wrong?- aboredperson
