The molar mass of gas = 206.36 g/mol

Further explanation

In general, the gas equation can be written


\large{\boxed{\bold{PV=nRT}}}

where

P = pressure, atm

V = volume, liter

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.082 l.atm / mol K

T = temperature, Kelvin

mass (m)= 2.89 g

volume(V) = 346 ml = 0.346 L

T = 28.3 C + 273 = 301.3 K

P = 760 mmHg=1 atm

The molar mass (M) :


\tt PV=(m)/(M)RT\\\\M=(mRT)/(PV)\\\\M=(2.89* 0.082* 301.3)/(1* 0.346)\\\\M=206.36~g/mol
