Answer:
28 g/mol, N2
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of gas = 5.0 L
Mass of gas = 6.3 g
Pressure = 1 atm
Temperature = 273 K
Molar mass of gas = ?
Solution:
We will calculate the density first.
d = mass/ volume
d = 6.3 g/ 5.0 L
d = 1.26 g/L
Molar mass:
d = PM/RT
M = dRT/P
M = 1.26 g/L× 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273 K/ 1 atm
M = 28 g/mol
Molar mass of N₂ is 28 g/mol thus given gas is N₂.
