Chapter 11, Problem 103E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecular formula of compound is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas law is represented as:

$PV=nRT$

Here, $P$ is the pressure of gas, $V$ is the volume of gas, $n$ is the number of moles of gas, $R$ is the ideal gas constant and $T$ is the temperature.

The relationship between the number of moles of gas and molar mass of gas is written as:

$\text{Molar mass}=\frac{\text{Mass }\left(m\right)}{\text{Moles }\left(n\right)}$
