Question

A sample of gas has a mass of 827 mg . Its volume is 0.270 L at a temperature of 88 ∘ C and a pressure of 975 mmHg . Find its molar mass

Answer 1

Steps:

Mw = w * R * T / p * V

T = 88 + 273 => 361 K

p = 975 mmHg in atm :

1 atm = 760 mmHg

975 mmg / 760 mmHg => 1.28 atm

Therefore:

= 0.827 * 0.0821 * 361 / 1.28 * 0.270

= 24.51 / 0.3456

molar mass = 70.92 g/mol
