Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.
Convert the pressure from mmHg to atm using the conversion factor: 1 atm = 760 mmHg.
Use the Ideal Gas Law equation, PV = nRT, to solve for the number of moles (n) of the gas. Remember to convert the volume from mL to L by dividing by 1000.
Calculate the molar mass of the gas by dividing the mass of the gas sample by the number of moles calculated in the previous step.
Ensure all units are consistent and check calculations for accuracy.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas through the equation PV = nRT. Here, P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin. This law is fundamental for calculating properties of gases under various conditions.

Molar Mass

Molar mass is defined as the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It can be calculated by dividing the mass of the gas sample by the number of moles present. Understanding molar mass is crucial for converting between mass and moles in chemical calculations.

Gas Laws and Conditions

Gas laws describe the behavior of gases under different conditions of pressure, volume, and temperature. In this problem, the gas sample's conditions (pressure in mmHg and temperature in Celsius) must be converted to appropriate units (atmospheres and Kelvin) to apply the Ideal Gas Law correctly. Familiarity with these conversions is essential for accurate calculations.
