Answer:
40 g mol–1
Explanation:
2.9 g of a gas at 95 °C occupied the same volume as 0.184g of dihydrogen at 17 °C, at the same pressure.Hence, the molar mass of the gas is 40 g mol–1.

9Answer:
The molar mass of the gas is 40gmol⁻¹.
Explanation:
Given,
mass of H₂ = 0.184g
mass of gas = 2.9g
Temperature of H₂, T₁ = 17°C = 17+273 =290K
Temperature of gas, T₂ = 95°C = 95+273 =368K
moles of H₂ , n₁ = mass of H₂ / molar mass of H₂
⇒ = 0.184g / 2gmol⁻¹ = 0.092mol.
the ideal gas equation is,
PV = nRT
Since P and V is constant,
⇒ PV/R is constant
⇒ nT is constant
then we can write,
n₂ T₂= n₁ T₁
moles of gas, n₂ = n₁ × (T₁ / T₂)
⇒ = 0.092 × (290/368) = 0.0725mol.
molar mass of gas = mass of gas /moles of gas
⇒ = 2.9 / 0.0725 = 40gmol⁻¹
Hence, the required answer is 40gmol⁻¹.
