determining # of moles from volume
 
A sample of neon at 25°C occupies a volume of 500. L at 2.00 atm. How many moles of neon are present?

I set it up like : (2.0atm*500L)/(.0821 mol*298K)=1000/24.47=40.87

But this answer was wrong. Can someone show me what I am doing wrong?

/thanks

Ideal gas calculator gives 40.8946, so your result is correct. Check if you are not abusing significant digits when submitting answer.

You should only give 3 digits in the answer.
