Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Relationship Between Mass and Molar Mass

The mass of 1.000 atm of gas increases as the molar mass of the gas increases. This is because, for a given volume and pressure, the mass of the gas is directly proportional to its molar mass.

Step 2: Calculating Moles of Propane

To find the number of moles of propane (\(\mathrm{C}_3\mathrm{H}_8\)) in the flask, use the formula: \[ \text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} \] For propane: \[ \text{moles of propane} = \frac{0.332 \, \text{g}}{44.097 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.0075 \, \text{mol} \]

Step 3: Calculating Moles of Methane

For methane (\(\mathrm{CH}_4\)): \[ \text{moles of methane} = \frac{0.121 \, \text{g}}{16.043 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.0075 \, \text{mol} \]

Step 4: Calculating Moles of Butane

For butane (\(\mathrm{C}_4\mathrm{H}_{10}\)): \[ \text{moles of butane} = \frac{0.438 \, \text{g}}{58.124 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.0075 \, \text{mol} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{The mass of 1.000 atm of gas increases as the molar mass of the gas increases.}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Moles of propane} = 0.0075 \, \text{mol}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Moles of methane} = 0.0075 \, \text{mol}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Moles of butane} = 0.0075 \, \text{mol}} \]
