Solution

The correct option is C $84 g / m o l$
$1 M o l e$ of gas occupy $22.4 L i t r e s$ of volume at STP.
Given, $1 L i t r e$ of gas $= 3.75 g$ of gas
So, $22.4 L i t r e s$ of gas $= 22.4 \times 3.75 = 84 g$ of gas
So, $22.4 L i t r e s$ of gas weighs $84 g r a m s$ which is molar mass of gas.
