According to Avogadro’s law, at a given temperature and pressure a given volume of any gas contains the same
number of molecules.
The volume of a gas is usually measured at a standard temperature and pressure (STP).
Remember, standard temperature is 0C and standard pressure is 101 kPa.

5. At STP the density of a gaseous compound is 0.759 kg/m3. Determine the molar mass.
6. The densities of three gases are 1.70 kg/m3, 0.0893 kg/m3, and 2.86 kg/m3.
Calculate the molar mass of each gas and then identify them as hydrogen, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide,
fluorine, or oxygen.
