The volume of one mole of any gas at room temperature and pressure is 24 dm3.
A sample of an unknown pure gas has a volume of 12 dm3 and a mass of 17 g at room temperature and pressure.
The table shows four possible gases.
| Gas | Relative formula mass, MrM_rMr |
|---|---|
| ammonia, NH3\text{NH}_3NH3 | 17 |
| ethane, C2H6\text{C}_2\text{H}_6C2H6 | 30 |
| hydrogen sulfide, H2S\text{H}_2\text{S}H2S | 34 |
| carbon dioxide, CO2\text{CO}_2CO2 | 44 |
Which of the gases listed could make up this sample?
Carbon dioxide, CO2\text{CO}_2CO2
Ammonia, NH3\text{NH}_3NH3
Hydrogen sulfide, H2S\text{H}_2\text{S}H2S
Ethane, C2H6\text{C}_2\text{H}_6C2H6
