    Answer: H2O (water)

    Explanation:

    The answer choices for this question are:

    A) H2O

    B) N2

    C) SO2

    D) NO3

    E) Cl2

    The solution of the problem is:

    1) dа ta:

    density, d = 1.4975 g/liter

    volume, V = 8.64 liter

    pressure, p = 2.384 atm

    temperature, T = 349.6 K

    2) Formulas:

    d = m/V = > m = d*V

    n = m / molar mass = > molar mass = m / n

    pV = nRT = > n = pV / RT

    3) Solution

    n = pV / RT = 2.384 atm * 8.64 liter / (0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol * 349.6K)

    n = 0.7176 moles

    m = dV = 1.4975 g / liter * 8.64 liter = 12.9384 g

    molar mass = m / n = 12.9384 g / 0.7176 moles = 18.03 g/mol

    That molar mass corresponds to the molar mass of water, therefore the gas is H2O (water vapor).
