Solution

From Ideal gas equation- PV=nRT

Here,
P=2atm, V=350ml=0.35l
R=0.0821l atm/kmol and T=0oC=273K

Now, n=PVRT

n=2×0.350.0821×273

n=0.0312 mol

Now, the weight of 0.0312 mol of gas is 1 gram

Therefore, the weight of 1mol of gas would be=10.0312=32 g/mol

Since the gas is diatomic therefore weight of 1 mole atom=16 g/mol
