A 1.5 gram sample of a gaseous hydrocarbon has a volume of 820 mL when measured at 227 oC and 2.50 atm. Which of the following is the formula for the gas?

1 answer

No options.
Use PV = nRT and solve for n= number of moles. Then n = grams/molar mass. You know n and grams, solve for molar mass. Finally compare the molar mass in the answer above with the molar mass of each of the possibilities you have as answers and identify the gas that way. Post your work if you get stuck. Don't forget T must be in kelvin.
