1). PV = nRT and we can solve for n (moles)
P = 452 mm Hg x 1 atm/760 mm Hg = 0.5947 atm
V = 1.53 L
R = 0.0821 Latm/Kmol
T = 39 + 273 = 312K
n = (0.5947)(1.53)/(0.0821)(312)
n = 0.0355 moles
molecular weight = mass/moles = 2.41 g/0.0355 moles = 67.9 g/mole
2). Do this the same way as #1, after converting 805 mm Hg to atm and 44 degrees C to K.
