A 51.0-mL sample of a gas at 745 torr and 25 C has a mass of 0.262

Question:

A 51.0-mL sample of a gas at 745 torr and 25 °C has a mass of 0.262 g. The entire gas sample dissolves in 12.0 g water, forming a solution that freezes at -0.61 °C.

(a) Calculate the molar mass of the gas using the ideal gas law.

(b) Calculate the molar mass from the freezing point of the solution, using the data in Table 12.4.

(c) Offer an explanation for the different values obtained in parts a and b.
