The following data represent a determination by comparison with the mass of oxygen as the reference gas of the "molar mass" of a sample of air. Assuming the air is 20% oxygen, 79% nitrogen and 1% argon, and that these gases act as ideal gases, Determine both the theoretical and experimental "molar mass" of the air.
Mass of syringe and gas for oxygen = 40.747 grams
Mass of syringe and gas for air = 40.741 grams
Mass of oxygen = 1.00
Mass of gas for oxygen = .060 gram
Mass of gas for air = .054 grams
Theoretical molar mass of oxygen = 32.00
