Using a Dumas method‚ you are asked to identify the unknown pure liquid by comparing the molar masses of the given possible substances (ethanol‚ methanol‚ isopropanol‚ acetone). Introduction Dumas Method allows us to measure the molar mass of the substance‚ using the Ideal Gas Law. The Ideal Gas Law‚ PV=nRT‚ explains the behaviour of the gases that are near 100kPa and in the room temperature.
