It is in an incorrect spot i think
<span>Let's </span>assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>
</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V
is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number
of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹)
and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 60 cm Hg = 79993.4 Pa
V = </span>125 mL = 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³
n = ?
<span>
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 25 °C = 298 K
<span>
By substitution,
</span></span>79993.4 Pa<span> x </span>125 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 298 K<span>
n = 4.0359 x 10</span>⁻³ mol
<span>
Hence, moles of the gas</span> = 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>
Moles = mass / molar
mass
</span>Mass of the gas = 0.529 g
<span>Molar mass of the gas</span> = mass / number of moles<span>
= </span>0.529 g / 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>
<span> = </span>131.07 g mol</span>⁻¹<span>
Hence, the molar mass of the given gas is </span>131.07 g mol⁻¹
The partial pressure of Hydrogen gas can directly be calculated
by simply taking the difference of the overall pressure and the vapour pressure
of water. That is:
P (H2 gas) = 759.2 torr – 23.8 torr
<span>P (H2 gas) = 735.4 torr</span>
