A gaseous compound composed of sulfur and oxygen has a density of 9.88 g/L at stp. What is the molar mass of this gas?

Respuesta :

Answer: The molar mass of this gas is 221 g/mol

Explanation:

The relation between density and molar mass is :

[tex]PM=dRT[/tex]

where P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)

M = molar mass of gas = 32 g/mol

d = density of gas = ?

R = gas constant = [tex]0.0821Latm/Kmol[/tex]

T= temperature of gas = 273 K ( at STP)

[tex]1atm\times M=9.88g/L\times 0.0821Latm/Kmol\times 273K[/tex]

[tex]M=221g/mol[/tex]

Thus the molar mass of this gas is 221 g/mol
