The ideal gas law is a very simple mathematical relationship that relates several physical properties of a gas. This law is only valid when the behavior of a gas is idealized according to three principal assumptions. (i) State the three assumptions made about an ideal gas, and for each assumption (ii) explain which physical property of a gas would be affected if that assumption was not made.

You have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.
