What is the experimental molar mass (that is, calculated from the data given and not taken from the periodic table) of magnesium if 0.0211 grams of magnesium generates 21.07 mL of hydrogen at 19.0 °C with a hydrogen partial pressure of 747.5 torr? Note that the partial pressure of water vapor has already been subtracted from the total pressure.
