Answer

$3.2\times 10^2amu$

Work Step by Step

From ideal gas law $n=\frac{PV}{RT}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $n=\frac{\frac{786}{760}\times 0.250}{0.08206\times 394}=0.007996mol$ Now we can find the molar mass as $Molar \space mass =\frac{2.56g}{0.007996mol}=3.20\times 10^2\frac{g}{mol}$ Hence the molecular weight is $3.2\times 10^2amu$
