Homework Statement
Calculate the speed of sound waves in hydrogen gas (M = 2.00 g/mol and γ = 1.40) at T = 300 K.
Homework Equations
v = root (γRT/M)
The Attempt at a Solution
I keep getting 1321.4km/s but its not being acccepted (automated homework) so I am pretty sure this is a sig fig error.
I converted M into kg/mo (2/1000) = .002kg/mol
and my answer seems reasonable also.
the least amount of sig figs is M, which is 3
so my answer should also be 3 digits right? so 1.32e3 .. please help. thanks
