either convert Torrs or use
R = 62.4 Liter Torr/ ( deg K mol)
A sample of nitrogen gas is confined in a 8.494 L container at 2.643 x 102 torr and 50 oC. How many moles of gas are present in the sample? So I thought I set this problem up right and when I type the answer into CALM my answer is incorrect. This is what I did:
PV=nRT (2.643 x 102 torr)(8.494 L)=n(0.0821)(323.15 degrees Kelvin)
I divided the numbers to get "n" alone and my answer was 84.6 moles
Please explain what I am doing wrong! Thank you!

I will try this, thank you!
when in danger or in doubt about units, type for example:
gas constant Torrs liters
into Google search box
