Ok, I seriously need this ASAP.
the question says, The density of methanol is 0.796 g/cm3. Is 4.00 mL of methanol a satisfactory volume to use in this experiment? Justify your answer with a calculation.
THe only thing I have for methanol is its molecular weight, 49.28 g/mol.
But I dont have the temperature of the REQUIRED moles of methanol!!! how am i supposed to do this??? This is what I did:
Since, density = mass/volume
0.796g/cm3 = mass / 4cm3
Mass= 3.184 g
Further, number of moles = mass / molar mass
n = 3.184 g / 49.28 g/mol
n= 0.06448 mols
To find the required number of moles, we use the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
n = PV/RT (T ???)
n =
and what about the volume?? All i know is that the molecular weight of the IDEAL/ required methanol is 32.04 g/mol
HELP ME FOLKS PLEASEEE QUICK. THANKSSS

I am using the ideal gas law because we've added the methanol into a flask and put it in a hot water boiling bath, which makes it vaporize, then after cooling, it condenses into liquid and we can weigh it and calculate its molecular weight USING the gas law.
