Answer:
M.Mass = 3.66 g/mol
Data Given:
M.Mass = M = ??
Density = d = 0.1633 g/L
Temperature = T = 273.15 K (Standard)
Pressure = P = 1 atm (standard)
Solution:
Let us suppose that the gas is an ideal gas. Therefore, we will apply Ideal Gas equation i.e.
P V = n R T ---- (1)
Also, we know that;
Moles = n = mass / M.Mass
Or, n = m / M
Substituting n in Eq. 1.
P V = m/M R T --- (2)
Rearranging Eq.2 i.e.
P M = m/V R T --- (3)
As,
Mass / Volume = m/V = Density = d
So, Eq. 3 can be written as,
P M = d R T
Solving for M.Mass i.e.
M = d R T / P
Putting values,
M = 0.1633 g/L × 0.08205 L.atm.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹ × 273.15 K / 1 atm
M = 3.66 g/mol
There are chief differences between organic and inorganic compounds. ... The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms.
