Explain the dumas method for determining molar masses

Reference no: EM13655503

A liquid was known to be either methyl alcohol (CH3OH) or ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH). The Dumas method for determining molar masses was used to obtain an approximate molar mass, and this value was used to identify the alcohol. The gaseous alcohol at 98oC and 740Torr has a mass of 0.276g in a Dumas bulb of volume equal to 270mL. Which alcohol was present?
