Possible source of error in determining gas constant

Please see the Word attachment for my question. It was much easier for me to use Microsoft Word's Equation Editor than for me to type all that LaTex code

You are absolutely right. Sometimes TA's can be wrong. I should know, I used to be one...

Seconded. The lab manual is dead wrong, and the TA's a puppet. Take this to the course instructor (if you care to) and have him/her fix the error in the manual.
