An experiment shows that a 115 mL gas sample has a mass of 0.161 g at a pressure of 725 mm Hg and a temperature of 34C.
What si the molar mass of the gas?
Help please!!!!!!!

I got 36.97g/mol
You have to convert the following:
Volume (V) from mL to L, which is 0.115 L.
Pressure (P) 725 mmHg, by dividing by 760 mmHg to get atm and I got 0.954 atm.
Temperature (T) = 34 C to Kelvin by adding 273 K and I got 307 K.
Now all you have to do is plug all these into the PV = nRT formula to find n.
(0.954)(0.115) = n(0.08206)(307)
n = 0.00435 mol
After you get the moles, you can divide the given mass, 0.161 g, by the calculated mole.
0.161g/0.00435mol = 36.97g/mol
Hope this helps!!
