Oh man, finally finished silver. Turns out the G really does mean "giga". Oh and, something else to note, the BOE they want is the bigger one. On to gold....

They could've had a larger range for silver. Turns out I was about 0.1% off for the whole time.

Have you finished? I know the reaction for Rg, but can't get the smiles format :frown:

Could someone please point me in the right direction for silver.
I've found that 1.9859 cal K−1 mol−1= 8.3144621 J K−1 mol−1
Then I divided that by 0.33 to get 25.195339697 J ºN−1 mol−1
Then I multiplied it by 109 to get 2195339696.97 J ºN−1Gmol−1
Then I divided it by 453.59237lb to get 55546215.8611039 J ºN−1Glbmol−1
Then I divided it by 6117863200J to get 0.00907934911998422 BOE ºN−1Glbmol−1
I don't understand how to get it to over 1000. I've tried shifting the decimal point but it doesn't work. Could someone please tell me where I'm making a mistake?

It is mol-1, not mol, in the units.

You don't divide by 453, you times by 453*10^9


Thank you very much!

Can't even do the entry question, I'm so confused right now :frown: any help please?


Try to look at the background picture and what has happened recently there.
finished...found them all so irritating
