Answer: Option D) 298 g/mol is the correct answer
Explanation:
Given that;
Mass of sample m = 13.7 g
pressure P = 2.01 atm
Volume V = 0.750 L
Temperature T = 399 K
Now taking a look at the ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
we solve for n
n = PV/RT
now we substitute
n = (2.01 atm x 0.750 L) / (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K x 399 K
)
= 1.5075 / 32.7579
= 0.04601 mol
we know that
molar mass of the compound = mass / moles
so
Molar Mass = 13.7 g / 0.04601 mol
= 297.7 g/mol ≈ 298 g/mol
Therefore Option D) 298 g/mol is the correct answer
Generally, frictional losses are more predominant for the machines being not 100% efficient. This friction leads to the loss of energy in the form of heat, into the surroundings. Some of the supplied energy may be utilised to change the entropy (measure of randomness of the particles) of the system.
