Question:

A finely powdered solid sample of an osmium oxide (which melts at 40. °C and boils at 130.°C) with a mass of 1.509 g is placed into a cylinder with a movable piston that can expand against the atmospheric pressure of 745 Torr. Assume that the amount of residual air initially present in the cylinder is negligible. When the sample is heated to 200. °C, it is completely vaporized and the volume of the cylinder expands by 235 mL. What is the molar mass of the oxide? Assuming that the oxide is OsOx, find the value of x.
