Use PV = nRT to solve for n.
Then n = grams/molar mass.
Then n = grams/molar mass.

I'm still confused... I know that:
P=1.1 atm
V=2.00 L
n=?
R= I think .0821
and
T= ?
I have no idea how to change 15.0g to moles, since I do not know what the element is to look at the atomic mass--I know that one mole is avagadro's number, but I'm still really not sure what to do here.
Please help...

T- 25+273 = 298k
n=PV/RT
n= 1.1 atm*2.00 l/ (0.0821 (L*atm/ mol*k) *298k)
n=0.0899mol
MW= 5.0g/0.0899mol
=167amu
n=PV/RT
n= 1.1 atm*2.00 l/ (0.0821 (L*atm/ mol*k) *298k)
n=0.0899mol
MW= 5.0g/0.0899mol
=167amu
