Answer:
27.98g/mol
Step-by-step explanation:
Using ideal gas law equation;
PV = nRT
Where;
P = pressure (atm)
V = volume (L)
T = temperature (K)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)
According to the information given:
V = 2.5L
P = 1.4 atm
T = 282K
n = ?
Using PV = nRT
n = PV/RT
n = 1.4 × 2.5/0.0821 × 282
n = 3.5/23.1522
n = 0.151mol
Using the formula to calculate molar mass of the elemental gas:
mole = mass/molar mass
Molar mass = mass/mole
Molar mass = 4.23g ÷ 0.151mol
Molar mass = 27.98g/mol
