In a laboratory experiment, molecular mass of a diethyl ether is determined by using vapour density (Victor Meyer) method at 85°C. When 110 mg diethyl ether is given to the system, 44 mL volume change is observed. Find Mw according to ideal gas equation and Vander Waals Equation respectively constant: R: 0.08206 L-atm, P: 1 atm, a= 17.17 atm.I^2.mol^-2, b= 0.133 I.mol^-1.
