1.47 litre of a gas is collected over water at and 744 mm of Hg. If the gas weighs 1.98g and vapour pressure of water at
is 32 mm, what is the molar mass (in g/mol) of gas?
36
43.6
357.7
23.5
We have:
Given weight of gas = 1.98g
Volume of gas = 1.47L
Total pressure of gas given = 744mm and vapour pressure of water = 32mm
Thus, pressure of gas = 744 - 32 = 712 mm or 712/760 atm
Now, according to ideal gas equation, we have:
pV = nRT
Thus, molar mass of gas = 1.98/0.055 = 36g/mol
