I have a hard time using the gas constant without a calculator.
Say that I am using the equation PV=nRT, where R= 0.0821
I always round 0.0821 to just 0.08. But multiplying numbers by 0.08 is difficult. Is there an easy way to do this?
Example (0.25 mol)(0.08 L∙atm∙mol−1∙K−1)(300) / 3 atm = V
I cannot do this without a calc. I tried rounding 0.08 to 0.1, and the answers are so far off that I can’t answer them correctly.
