Molar Mass Of 325 mL Gas At STP
325 mL
of a gas at STP has a mass of
0.805 grams
.
What is the molar mass of the gaseous compound?
Let's take a quick look at what STP means
Standard Temperature (0 °C = 32 °F = 273.15 K)
&
Standard Pressure (1 atm)
We also know, that 1 mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 L
Now, we'll set up a ratio to find the moles of our gas
