96.0 g. of a gas occupies 48.0 L at 700.0 mm Hg and 20.0 °C. What is its molecular weight?

Molecular weight of the gas is 52.2 g/mol.

Ideal gas equation is a hypothetical equation which tells about the behavior of the gas under standard condition and it ca be described as:

PV = nRT, where

P = pressure = 700.0 mm Hg (given)

V = volume = 48.0 L (given)

R = universal gas constant = 0.08206 L atm mol¯¹ K¯¹

T = temperature = 20.0 °C = 293 K

On putting theses values in the above equation we get for moles is as:

n = (700 × 48) / (0.08206 × 293) = 1.8 moles

We know that moles can be represented as:

n = W / M, where

W = given weight = 96g

M = molecular weight = to find?

Putting values in the mole equation, we get

M = 96 / 1.8 = 52.2 g/mol

Hence, molecular weight of gas is 52.2 g/mol.

I hope this helps 52.2 g/mol

Explanation:

1) Solve for the moles using PV = nRT:

n = PV / RT

n = [(700.0 mmHg / 760.0 mmHg atm¯1) (48.0 L)] / [(0.08206 L atm mol¯1 K¯1) (293.0 K)]

n = 1.8388 mol

2) Divide the grams given (96.0) by the moles just calculated above:

96.0 g / 1.8388 mol = 52.2 g/mol

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
