Methane is formed in landfills by the action of certain bacteria on buried organic matter. If a sample of methane collected from a landfill has a volume of 100. mL at 754 torr and 21.2 °C, how many grams of methane are in the sample?
1 answer
Use PV = nRT and solve for n = nuumber of mols, then n = grams/molar mass. You know molar mass and n, solve for grams.
