Calculate the pressure exerted by 0.5000 mol N2 in a 10.000 L container at 25.0°C using the ideal gas law.?

I'm getting 1.22 atm. What am I doing wrong. Is it a problem with my significant figures or what.

Calculate the pressure exerted by 0.5000 mol N2 in a 10.000 L container at 25.0°C using the ideal gas law.?
P = nRT / V





P = (0.5000) (0.08206) (298) / 10.000





Your 1.22 looks fine to me, maybe even use 1.223 for your answer
Reply:hmm..i keep getting the same answer so im not sure.
Reply:I get the same thing, and your significant figures are correct as well. Perhaps your answer key for the problem is wrong.
