Homework Statement
The density of a gaseous compound was found to be 1.23 kg/m^3 at 330K and 20,000 Pa. What is the molar mass of this compound.
Homework Equations
PV=nRT
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't think this is right but I assumed a volume of 1 m^3. So I used ideal gas law as follows:
n = (20,000Pa * 1m^3)/(8.314 (Pa*m^3/mol.K) * 330K) = 7.29 mol.
Then what I did was took density and multiplied it by the assumed volume of 1m^3 and got 1.23 kg/m^2. Then I took 1230g/m^3 and divided it by 7.290 mol. go get grams/mol*m^2. The answer was 168.72 but I can almost guarantee I am being retarded and overlooking something.
