A chemist has synthesized a greenish-yellow gaseous compound that contains only chlorine and oxygen and has a density of 7. 71 g/l at 36. 0°c and 2188. 8 mmhg. What is the molar mass of the compound?.



Answer :

The molar mass of the compound is 67.5g/mol.

How do you find the molar mass of the compound?

We know that ideal gas law use the formula PV = nRT and can also be written as PM = dRT. Here d refers to the density of the ideal gas law, P refers to the pressure which is measured in atmospheres (atm), T refers to the temperature which is measured in kelvin (K), and R is the ideal gas law constant ,i.e, 0.0821 atm(L)/mol(K) and M is know as the molar mass (g/mol) and d is the density (g/L).

The given details in the question are:-

P = 2.88 atm

d = 7.71g/L

R = 0.0821 atm(L)/mol(K)

T = 36 C = 36+273 = 309 K

M = ?

According to the ideal gas law, we can write the formula to find molar mass as

           M = dRT/P

               = (7.71*0.0821*309)/2.88

           M = 67.83g

Molecular Formula = [tex]ClO_{2}[/tex]

The molar mass of [tex]ClO_{2}[/tex] = 35.5+2*16 = 67.5g.
