The mass of 4.48 dm ^3 of certain gas is 5.6 g at STP. Assuming ideal behaviour, identify the probable gas from following.
Options
- ACl ₂
- BO ₂
- CN ₂
- DCH ₄
Correct answer
C. N ₂
Step-by-step solution
The molar mass is determined from the gas sample's mass and volume at STP, where 1 mole occupies 22.4 dm ^3 . The number of moles is n = 4.48 dm ^3 22.4 dm ^3 mol ⁻¹ = 0.2 mol . Molar mass is calculated as M = 5.6 g 0.2 mol = 28 g mol ⁻¹ . Comparing with the options: C N ₂ ( 2 14 = 28 g mol ⁻¹ ) matches the calculated molar mass.
