Answer:
Explanation:
Given : Density - 2.41 g/liter
Temperature - 25° C
Pressure : 770 mm Hg
R = 0.0821 L atm mol-¹K-¹
Find : Molecular mass of gas
Solution : Ideal gas equation with respect to density will be : PM = dRT. In the formula, P is pressure, M is molecular mass, d is density, R is gas constant and T is temperature.
Keeping the values in equation-
Pressure : 770 mm Hg = 1 atm
Temperature : 273 + 25 = 298 K
M = dRT/P
M = (2.41*0.0821*298)/1
M = 58.96 gram/mol
Thus, the molecular mass of gas is 58.96 gram/mol.
