3.4 Ideal Gas Law
IntermediateMCQMathematical19.9k
A student performs an experiment to determine the molar mass of an unknown volatile liquid using the Dumas method. A small sample of the liquid is placed in a flask covered with aluminum foil containing a pinhole. The flask is heated in an oil bath until the liquid completely vaporizes and fills the flask, expelling excess vapor. The flask is then cooled, and the mass of the condensed vapor is measured. The student records the data in the table below.

MeasurementValue
Mass of empty flask and foil cap\(124.32\text{ g}\)
Mass of flask, foil cap, and condensed liquid\(125.20\text{ g}\)
Temperature of heating bath\(127^\circ\text{C}\) (\(400.\text{ K}\))
Barometric pressure\(0.820\text{ atm}\)
Volume of flask\(400.\text{ mL}\)

Based on these experimental data, what is the molar mass of the unknown liquid?
