2An odiferous gaseous compound called methyl
mercaptan is produced in the intestinal track of
the human body and by rotting eggs or broccoli.
If 12.00 g of this gas is equivalent to 0.2493
moles. Calculate the molar mass.

4Another odiferous gas that is produced by the
human digestive track is collected and weighed to
be 0.0429 g. An equal volume of methyl mercaptan
weighs 0.06051 g. Calculate the molecular mass of
this gas and determine its identity. Hint it
contains sulphur.
