To identify a diatomic gas (x2), a researcher carried out the following experiment: she weighed an empty 2.2-l bulb, then filled it with the gas at 2.00 atm and 27.0 ∘c and weighed it again. the difference in mass was 5.1 g.
identify the gas. express your answer as a chemical formula.

N2

Explanation:

We use the ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles of the diatomic gas. Then from the number of moles we can get

Given:

P = 2atm

1atm = 101,325pa

2atm = 202,650pa

T = 27 degrees Celsius = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15K

V = 2.2L

R = molar gas constant = 8314.46 L.Pa/molK

PV = nRT

Rearranging n = PV/RT

Substituting these values will yield:

n = (202,650 * 2.2)/(8314.46* 300.15)

n = 0.18 moles

To get the molar mass, we simply divide the mass by the number of moles.

5.1/0.18 = 28.5g/mol

This is the closest to the molar mass of diatomic nitrogen N2.

Hence, the gas is nitrogen gas
