Answer: 16.1 g/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

P - the pressure of the gas

V - the volume it occupies

n - the number of moles of gas

V= 1.0L

P= 1atm

T=273.15k

PV= nRt

n=
(PV)/(RT)

=
((1atm)(1.0L))/((0.0821(L*atm)/(molk) )(273.15K))

n=0.04459mol

Molar mass:
(grams)/(mol)

=
(0.716g)/(0.04459 mol)

Molar mass: 16.1 g/mol
