The mass of 800cm³ of a gas Q at s.t.p. is 1.0g. What is the molar mass of Q? [Avogadro's constant=22.4 gmol⁻¹]
- A. 18 mol⁻¹
- B. 28.0 gmol⁻¹
- C. 28.0 gmol⁻¹Correct
- D. 36.0 gmol⁻¹
Explanation
1g occupies 800cm³, so 1 mole (22400cm³) weighs (1/800)×22400 = 28g. Hence the molar mass of the gas is 28g/mol.
