<span>This is called "The capture theory" which states that the Earth's Moon was captured by the gravitational pull of our planet, meaning that it formed elsewhere, and then was pulle dinto place by the Earth, already formed. This would rely upon the ideas that a asteroid pased close enough to the Earth's orbit to be "captured".</span>
Answer:
121 g/mol
Explanation:
To find the molar mass, you first need to calculate the number of moles. For this, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law. The equation looks like this:
PV = nRT
In this equation,
-----> P = pressure (atm)
-----> V = volume (L)
-----> n = moles
-----> R = constant (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)
-----> T = temperature (K)
Because density is comparing the mass per 1 liter, I am assuming that the system has a volume of 1 L. Before you can plug the given values into the equation, you first need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.
P = 1.00 atm R = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K
V = 1.00 L T = 25.0. °C + 273.15 = 298.15 K
n = ? moles
PV = nRT
(1.00 atm)(1.00L) = n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(298.15 K)
1.00 = n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(298.15 K)
1.00 = (24.478115)n
0.0409 = n
Now, we need to find the molar mass using the number of moles per liter (calculated) and the density.
0.0409 moles ? grams 4.95 grams
---------------------- x ------------------ = ------------------
1 L 1 mole 1 L
? g/mol = 121 g/mol
