The question says:
Chloroform is an organic liquid commonly found in a chemistry laboratory, and is fairly volatile. The density of the vapor at a pressure of 220 mmHg and 25C is 1.42 g/L. Calculate the molar mass of chloroform.
Do I use the ideal gas law for this: PV=nRT?
Then P=220mmHg, T=(25C+273), and R=0.0821. But what is thre volume? Is there a way to figure out the volume using density?
Also, what exactly is molar mass? I know that if you use the formula above, n=the number of moles. Is the question asking how many grams of chloroform there are?
