Anoble gas is placed in a 10.0 liter container. the noble gas has a mass of 25.25 g, the pressure is 3.05 atm, and the temperature is 24°c. find the molar mass and symbol for the gas.

The problem can be solved using Ideal Gas Equation.

The equation is given below.

Step 1 : Calculate moles of the gas (n)

Where P = pressure of the gas in atm = 3.05 atm

V = Volume of the gas in Liters = 10.0 L

n = number of moles of the gas

R = Gas constant = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K

T = Temperature of the gas in Kelvin

To convert T from Celsius to Kelvin unit, we add 273

Hence we have T = 24 + 273 = 297 K

Let us plug in the above values in ideal gas equation

... Unit K gets cancelled

Number of moles of gas are 1.25

Step 2 : Find molar mass using mol value

Mole and molar mass can be related to each other by the following expression

The mass of the gas is given as 25.25 g

moles (n) = 1.25 mol

After plugging the values we get,

Molar mass =

Molar mass =

Molar mass of the gas is 20.2 /mol

Step 3 : Find identity of the gas using periodic table

From the periodic table , we can see that noble gas Neon has molar mass 20.18g/mol .

Hence the given gas is Neon which is represented by the symbol is "Ne"

20.2 g/mol; Ne

Explanation:

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
