Answer:
HCl
Explanation:
<em>Choices:</em>
<em>CO: 28.01g/mol</em>
<em>NO₂: 46g/mol</em>
<em>CH₄: 16.04g/mol</em>
<em>HCl: 36.4g/mol</em>
<em>CO₂: 44.01g/mol</em>

It is possible to identify a substance finding its molar mass (That is, the ratio between its mass in grams and its moles). It is possible to find the moles of the gas using general ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
<em>Where P is pressure of gas 0.764atm; V its volume, 0.279L; n moles; R gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK and T its absolute temperature, 295.85K (22.7°C + 273.15).</em>
Replacing:
PV = nRT
PV / RT = n
0.764atm*0.279L / 0.082atmL/molKₓ295.85K = n
<em>8.786x10⁻³ = moles of the gas</em>
<em />
As the mass of the gas is 0.320g; its molar mass is:
0.320g / 8.786x10⁻³moles = 36.4 g/mol
Based in the group of answer choices, the identity of the gas is:

Answer: b) 0.250 mol</h3>
============================================
Work Shown:
Using the periodic table, we see that
- 1 mole of carbon = 12 grams
- 1 mole of oxygen = 16 grams
These are approximations and these values are often found underneath the atomic symbol. For example, the atomic weight listed under carbon is roughly 12.011 grams. I'm rounding to 2 sig figs in those numbers listed above.
So 1 mole of CO2 is approximately 12+2*16 = 44 grams. The 2 is there since we have 2 oxygens attached to the carbon atom.
-------------------
Since 1 mole of CO2 is 44 grams, we can use that to convert from grams to moles.
11.0 grams of CO2 = (11.0 grams)*(1 mol/44 g) = (11.0/44) mol = 0.250 mol of CO2
In short,
11.0 grams of CO2 = 0.250 mol of CO2
This is approximate.
We don't need to use any of the information in the table.
