Answer: Option D) 298 g/mol is the correct answer
Explanation:
Given that;
Mass of sample m = 13.7 g
pressure P = 2.01 atm
Volume V = 0.750 L
Temperature T = 399 K
Now taking a look at the ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
we solve for n
n = PV/RT
now we substitute
n = (2.01 atm x 0.750 L) / (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K x 399 K )
= 1.5075 / 32.7579
= 0.04601 mol
we know that
molar mass of the compound = mass / moles
so
Molar Mass = 13.7 g / 0.04601 mol
= 297.7 g/mol ≈ 298 g/mol
Therefore Option D) 298 g/mol is the correct answer
