Question

A gas sample has a gas density of 5.95 g/L at 100°C and 755 mmHg. Determine the molar mass of the gas.​

Answer 1

M = 184.1 g/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Density = 5.95 g/L

Temperature = 100°C (100+273 = 373 K)

Pressure = 755 mmHg = (755/760 = 0.99 atm )

Molar mass of gas = ?

Formula:

d = PM/RT

Solution:

M = dRT / P

M = 5.95 g/L × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 373 K/ 0.99 atm

M = 182.21atm.g/mol / 0.99 atm

M = 184.1 g/mol
