Answer:
(a) 157.7 g
(b) 7.04 g/dm³
Explanation:
(a) From the question,
According to Avogadro's Law,
1 mole of every gas at STP occupies a volume of 22.4 dm³
But mass of 1 mole of the diatomic gas = molar mass of the gas.
This Implies that,
The molar mass of the gas at STP occupies a volume of 22.4 dm³
From the question,
If,
0.25 L bottle contain 1.76 g of the gas,
Therefore,
Molar mass of the gas = (1.76×22.4)/0.25
Molar mass of the gas = 157.7 g.
(b) Density of the gas = mass/volume
D = m/v
Given: m = 1.76 g, v = 0.25 L = 0.25 dm³
Therefore,
D = 1.76/0,25
D = 7.04 g/dm³
