Answer

$178amu$

Work Step by Step

From ideal gas law $n=\frac{PV}{RT}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $n=\frac{\frac{985}{760}\times 0.345}{0.08206\times 421}=0.01294mol$ Now we can find the molar mass as $Molar \space mass =\frac{2.30g}{0.01294mol}=178\frac{g}{mol}$ Hence the molecular weight is $178amu$
