Molar Mass Lab

The Purpose of this lab was to determine the molar mass of an unknown volatile compound. We found it by placing the surplus volume of the liquid in a pre-measured flask and warming it up. As liquid turned to vapors, it vapors took place of air in the flask, evicting air and surplus of vapor from the hole at the top of the flask. When whole liquid turns to vapor and evaporated, we then removed the flask, in order to cool the remaining vapor in the flask. We weighed the flask then so that we can get the weight of the liquid. When flask was removed from the bath, amount of vapor was same as of the amount of the flask. Pressure of the vapor (inside the flask) is equal to the atmospheric pressure of outside. Also, temperature of vapor is identical
