A 1.25 g gas sample occupies 663 ml at 25∘ c and 1.00 atm. what is the molar mass of the gas?

lakkis [162]

Using ideal gas equation,

$P\times V=n\times R\times T$

Here,

P denotes pressure

V denotes volume

n denotes number of moles of gas

R denotes gas constant

T denotes temperature

The values at STP will be:

P=1 atm

T=25 C+273 K =298.15K

V=663 ml=0.663L

R=0.0821 atm L mol ⁻¹

Mass of gas given=1.25 g g

Molar mass of gas given=?

$Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{Given mass of the gas}{Molar mass of the gas}$

$Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{1.25}{Molar mass of the gas}$

Putting all the values in the above equation,

$1\times 0.663=\frac{1.25}{Molar mass of the gas}\times 0.0821\times 298.15$

Molar mass of the gas=46.15
