Chapter 11.5, Problem 11.9WE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar mass of the volatile liquid has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Using some simple algebraic manipulation, we can solve for variables other than those that appear explicitly in the ideal gas equation. For example, if we know the molar mass of a gas (g/mol), we can determine its density at a given temperature and pressure.

Conversely, if we know the density of a gas, we can determine its molar mass.

                              $\text{M}\text{=}\frac{\text{dRT}}{\text{P}}$

To determine: The molar mass of the volatile liquid
