Calculating moles and molecular mass in a gas law problem.

A steel bottle of 4.00 liters, initially evacuated, is filled with 4.00 grams of a pure gas.  The bottle has an absolute pressure of 1.5375 Standard Atmospheres when the temperature is 300 Kelvin. R=0.0820 liter atm/mole K.

1) How many moles of gas does the bottle contain?

2) What's the molecular weight (in grams) of the mass?

3) If the gas is a hydrocarbon compound known to be a member of the paraffin series, CnH2n+2, what is the chemical formula of the compound?
