Question

A 0.500 g sample of phosphorous vapor exerts a pressure of 550. torr in a 73.1 mL container at 489∘C. What is the molar mass?

Answer 1

Molar mass= 78.8gmol-1

Step-by-step explanation:

P= 550torr, V= 0.0732dm3, m= 0.5g , R= 8.314, T= 273+489= 762K

Applying

PV= m/Mm×(R×T)

Substitute and Simplify

Mm= 78.8gmol-1
