#=44"g/mol"#

Explanation:

  1. The condition of the gas is at STP, so that 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4L of that ideal gas is the mole relationship where a suitable conversion factor is obtainable from; i.e.,

    #1mol " of any ideal gas"-=22.4L " of any ideal gas"#

  2. Given the volume of the gas, convert it to mole. Take note also that #1L=1000mL#. Using the equivalence statements shown above, the value of the gas expressed in mole is;

    #=112cancel(mL)xx(1cancel(L))/(1000cancel(mL))xx(1mol)/(22.4cancel(L))=0.005mol#

  3. Now, find the variable #(Mm)# as required in the problem. Plug in values as computed earlier. Thus,

    #eta=(m)/(Mm)#
    where:

    #eta="number of moles"#
    #m=mass#
    #Mm="molar mass"#

#Mm=(m)/(eta)#
#Mm=(0.22g)/(0.005mol#
#Mm=44"g/mol"#
