Homework Statement
3. a) Calculate the mass of argon that at 13°C, in a volume of 50 liters, presses the walls with a pressure of 5.10¹ Pa.
b) What is the internal energy of the gas at that temperature?
c) What is the average square speed of the molecules? A, (Ar) = 39,948
needed help with question C)
Relevant Equations
pv=nRT
U=NEk=3/2NkT=3/2nRT
In the images you can see what I did I need someone to check answers and show me how to do C part of question

In addition to being annoyingly sideways, your images are unreadable. If you are going to ask people to do you the favor of helping you with something, you should make it easy for them, not hard.

Welcome to PF.

Please start a new thread in the Homework Help, Introductory Physics forum, and type your work into the forum window using LaTeX for the equations. I will send you a Private Message (PM) now with some hints on how to use LaTeX.

When you repost, please also use a more descriptive thread title -- the title should reflect the question being asked in the thread. Thank you.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
