The mass of 5.6l of a certain gas at S.T.P is 12g. What is the relative molecular mass of the gas?

Open in App

Solution

Mass of gas = 12 g
Volume of 12 g of gas at STP =5.6 L

22.4 L of gas at STP =1 mole
5.6 L of gas at STP = $\frac{5.6}{22.4} m o l e s = 0.25 m o l e s$

mass of 0.25 moles of gas =12 g
Mass of 1 mole of gas or molar mass =12/0.25 = 48 g/mol
Relative molecular mass of gas =48 u
