    Start with the ideal gas law, then substitute mass/molecular weight for the number of moles. Solve for MW.

    MW = (mRT)/(PV)

    Make sure all of your units cancel correctly.

    So, you didn't take my advice as to including all that extraneous information. I guess that means you're smarter than I am. Use PV = nRT to calculate moles. molar mass is grams / mole
