Not converting the temperatures to absolute zero Kelvin scale.
Explanation:
Pressure is directly related to absolute temperature. So an increase from 20 degrees K to 40 degrees K doubles the pressure. But an increase from 20 degrees C to 40 degrees C does not. The most common mistakes is not converting the temperature to the Kelvin Scale where temperature and pressure are directly related.
