Answer: Option D) 298 g/mol  is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass of sample m = 13.7 g

pressure P = 2.01 atm

Volume V = 0.750 L

Temperature T = 399 K

Now taking a look at the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

we solve for n

n = PV/RT

now we substitute

n = (2.01 atm x 0.750 L) / (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K x 399 K )

= 1.5075 / 32.7579

= 0.04601 mol

we know that

molar mass of the compound = mass / moles

so

Molar Mass = 13.7 g / 0.04601 mol

= 297.7 g/mol  ≈ 298 g/mol

Therefore Option D) 298 g/mol  is the correct answer
