Ether was one of the first anesthetics discovered. Assume that several mL of ether is placed in an Erlenmeyer flask with a volume of 293 mL, and the flask is immersed in water at 36.0 °C until the last drop of liquid disappears, leaving the flask filled with ether vapor. The flask is then removed from the water bath, and the weight of ether that condenses in the flask is measured. If 0.801 grams of ether collect in this experiment at a pressure of 104.3 KPa, what is the molecular weight of ether from the experiment? 1 molecule unknown substance = ________ amu
