A 1.44-g sample of an unknown pure gas occupies a volume of 0.335 L at a pressure of and a temperature of 100.0°C. The unknown gas is .

Xenon

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Convert the temperature to Kelvin

K = °C + 273.15 = 100.0°C + 273.15 = 373.2 K

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles (n)

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 1.00 atm × 0.335 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 373.2 K

n = 0.0109 mol

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of the gas

M = 1.44 g / 0.0109 mol = 132 g/mol

Step 5: Identify the gas

The gas with a molar mass of about 132 g/mol is xenon.

it is a solid

explanation:

nuclear fission produces elements that are heavier than helium.

the elements that are used in nuclear fission and their products are much heavier than helium.
