Question

What is the molar mass of a gas if 0.102 g of the gas occupies 0.070 L at STP? a. 32.6g / mol b. 28.2 g/mol c. 40.0g / mol d. 47.9 g/mol

Answer 1

A. 32.6 g/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the volume of gas to moles using the ratio 1 mol / 22.4 L at STP.

0.070 L • (1 mol / 22.4 L) = 0.00313 mol

Now divide the grams of gas by the moles of gas:

0.102 g / 0.00313 mol = 32.6 g/mol
