A sample of an unknown gas with a mass of 8.21 g has a volume of 4.8064 L when the temperature is 200oC and the pressure is 1.816 atm. What is the molar mass of the gas?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is M = 36.49 g

Explanation:

Data

mass = 8.21 g

volume = 4.8064 L

Temperature = 200°C

Pressure = 1.816 atm

M = ?

Process

1.- Convert temperature to °K

°K = 273 + 200

°K = 473

2.- Calculate the number of moles

n = (PV)/RT

n = (1.816)(4.8064)/(0.082)(473)

n = 0.225

3.- Calculate the molar mass

            M --------------- 1 mol

           8.21 g ---------- 0.225 moles

M = (1 x 8.21)/0.225

M = 36.49 g
