The compound's molecular formula is C2H6. This is obtained by:
  
            mass             moles               divided by smallest moles
C          32g         32/12 = 2.67                                 1
H           8g           8/1.01 = 7.92                        approx. 3

Next, divide both terms by the smallest number of moles, 2.67. This gives 1 and 3. So the empirical formula is CH3 which has a molar mass of 15g/mol. Given the molar mass of the molecular formula as 30g/mole, we can calculate the factor by which to multiply the subscripts of CH3.

X = molar mass of molecular formula / molar mass of empirical formula = 30/15
X=2

So (CH3)2 is C2H6.

What is the molar mass of 81.50 g of gas
garik1379 [7]

The molar mass  of gas = 238.29 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 81.5 g

P=1.75 atm

V=4.92 L

T=307 K

Required

molar mass

Solution

The gas equation can be written  

\large{\boxed{\bold{PV=nRT}}

\tt n=\dfrac{mass}{molar~mass}

So the equation becomes :

\tt Molar~mass=\dfrac{mRT}{PV}

Input the value :

\tt M=\dfrac{81.5\times 0.082\times 307}{1.75\times 4.92}\\\\M=238.29~g/mol
