You would have to use chromatography there are various types for example 


Thin layer chromatography were you use a stationary medium such as silicon gel on glass and a mobile medium such a solvent. since the molecules will have different solubility's they will travel in the stationary phase at different speeds and so some will travel further than others. then you would calculate the RF value which is the distance travelled by the molecules / distance travelled by the solvent. with thin layer chromatography you can scrape the molecules off after an they will be separated.


You could also use GLC which heats up molecules very gradually and since each molecule has a different boiling point they will be evaporated at different rates which you then can collect and identify using the time they take.

I hope that my explanation helps

What is the molar mass of an unknown gas<br> with a density of 4.95 g/L at 1.00 atm and<br> 25.0 °C?
mestny [16]

Answer:

121 g/mol

Explanation:

To find the molar mass, you first need to calculate the number of moles. For this, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law. The equation looks like this:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (atm)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = constant (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

Because density is comparing the mass per 1 liter, I am assuming that the system has a volume of 1 L. Before you can plug the given values into the equation, you first need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.

P = 1.00 atm                         R = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K

V = 1.00 L                             T = 25.0. °C + 273.15 = 298.15 K

n = ? moles

PV = nRT

(1.00 atm)(1.00L) = n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(298.15 K)

1.00 = n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(298.15 K)

1.00 = (24.478115)n

0.0409 = n

Now, we need to find the molar mass using the number of moles per liter (calculated) and the density.

0.0409 moles           ? grams           4.95 grams
----------------------  x  ------------------  =   ------------------
        1 L                       1 mole                     1 L

? g/mol = 121 g/mol

**note: I am not 100% confident on this answer
