    Molar mass of the given gas can be calculated by using the ideal gas law, which is in the formula;

    PV=nRT where P is pressure, V=volume, n = no. of moles, R=ideal gas constant, and T=temperature. This equation has to be dimensionally homogeneous. Use R=0.08206 L-atm/mol-K.

    PV=nRT

    (1.2 atm) (1.3 L) = n (0.08206) (282K)

    n=0.0674 mol

    In order to find the molar mass, divide the given mass with the obtained number of moles,

    19.4 g/0.0674 mol = 287.78 g/mol
