61.24 is the molar mass of a gas which has a density of 0.00249 g/mL at 20.0 degrees celcius and 744.0 mm Hg.
Explanation:
given that:
density = 0.00249 g/ml (
) or 2.49 grams/litre
P = 744 mm Hg OR 0.978 atm
T = 20 Degrees or 293.15 Kelvin
R = 0.08206 Litre atm/mole K
molar mass =?
Formula used/
PV = nRT equation 1
here n is number of moles:
n = 
putting the value of n and value of density in the equation 1:
PV =
x RT
molar mass =
x 
= density x 
= 
= 61.24 is the molar mass of the gas.
Answer: <span>Molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon is
Tetrahedral.
Explanation: </span> In saturated hydrocarbons (-CH₂-) the central atom (
carbon) is bonded to either three or two hydrogen atoms and one or two carbon atoms. So, the central atom is having four electron pairs and all pairs are bonding pairs and lacks any lone pair of electron. According to
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR)
Theory the central atom with four bonding pair electrons and zero lone pair electrons will attain a
tetrahedral geometry with
bond angles of 109°.
