18.8 grams of gas occupies 14.5 L at 79.9 kPa at 30.0 Celsius degree. What is It’s molecular weight?(grams /moles)

Answer : The molecular weight of gas is, 40.9 g/mol

Explanation :

To calculate the molecular weight of gas we are using ideal gas equation:

where,

P = pressure of gas = 79.9 kPa

V = volume of gas = 14.5 L

T = temperature of gas =

R = gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mole.K

w = mass of gas = 18.8 g

M = molecular weight of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

Therefore, the molecular weight of gas is, 40.9 g/mol

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²
