Answer : The molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole
Explanation : Given,
Density of a gas = 5.75 g/L
First we have to calculate the moles of gas.
At STP,
As, 22.4 liter volume of gas present in 1 mole of gas
So, 1 liter volume of gas present in
mole of gas
Now we have to calculate the molecular weight of a gas.
Formula used :

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the molecular weight of a gas.


Therefore, the molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole

The answer is… Ions are highly charged species that can readily conduct an electrical current. But hydrogen chloride the gas does not exist as ions since there is no solvent medium for them to dissolve into. Hope this helps!
