Given information:
The volume of a gas - V=0.280L
at STP, standard temperature and pressure - T=273K, P=1 atm
Mass of the gas - m=0.400 g
Ideal gas constant R=0.0821 LatmKmol
Let us calculate the molar mass of the gas (M).
We know that
m=mM
Using the ideal gas law, we get
PV=nRT
PV=mMRT
M=mRTPV
=0.400g0.0821LatmKmol273K1atm0.280L
