Explanation of how to find the molar mass of H2: Hydrogen Gas.A few things to consider when finding the molar mass for H2:- make sure you have the correct ch. Molar mass of Helium = 4 g. The given mass of Helium = 5 2 g. Thus the number of moles of Helium = g i v e n m a s s / m o l a r m a s s.
The Universal and Individual Gas Constants are known from the Ideal Gas Law.
The Individual Gas Constant - R
Molar Mass Of Helium In Kg/mol
The Individual Gas Constant depends on the particular gas and is related to the molecular weight of the gas. The value is independent of temperature. The induvidual gas constant, R, for a gas can be calculated from the universal gas constant, Ru (given in several units below), and the gas molecular weight, Mgas:
R = Ru/Mgas [1]
In the imperial system the most common units for the individual gas constant are ft lb/slug oR. In the SI system the most common units are J/kg K.
Unit conversion: 1 J/kg K = 5.97994 ft lb/slug °R, and 1 ft lb/slug °R = 0.167226 J/kg K.

The Universal Gas Constant - Ru
The Universal Gas Constant - Ru - appears in the ideal gas law and can be expressed as the product between the Individual Gas Constant - R - for the particular gas - and the Molecular Weight - Mgas - for the gas, and is the same for all ideal or perfect gases:
Ru = Mgas R [2]
The Universal Constant defined in Terms of the Boltzmann's Constant
The universal gas constant can be defined in terms of Boltzmann's constant k as:
Ru = k NA [3]
where
k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.381 x 10-23 [J/K]
NA = Avogadro Number = 6.022 x 1023 [1/mol]
The Molecular weight of a Gas Mixture
The average molecular weight of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the mole fractions of each gas multiplied by the molecular weight of that particular gas:
Mmixture = Σxi*Mi = (x1*M1 + ......+ xn*Mn) [4]
where
xi = mole fractions of each gas
Mi = the molar mass of each gas
