Answer:
N2
Explanation:
We use the ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles of the diatomic gas. Then from the number of moles we can get
Given:
P = 2atm
1atm = 101,325pa
2atm = 202,650pa
T = 27 degrees Celsius = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15K
V = 2.2L
R = molar gas constant = 8314.46 L.Pa/molK
PV = nRT
Rearranging n = PV/RT
Substituting these values will yield:
n = (202,650 * 2.2)/(8314.46* 300.15)
n = 0.18 moles
To get the molar mass, we simply divide the mass by the number of moles.
5.1/0.18 = 28.5g/mol
This is the closest to the molar mass of diatomic nitrogen N2.
Hence, the gas is nitrogen gas
One-
The 6 is the only significant figure.
In chemistry, the molar mass M is a physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by its amount of substance. The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol. However, for historical reasons, molar masses are almost always expressed in g/mol.
Hope this helped!
Good luck :p
