I think the magic formula here would be to start with PV = nRT.

Here's an example:

You have 7.5 L, 60 atm and 35.5 C (= 308.65K)
and given R = 0.082 [L*atm / mol*K]

n = PV / RT
= (60) [atm] * (7.5) [L] / (0.082) [L*atm / mol*K] * (308.65) [K]
=17.8 mol

Molecular weight is in terms of [g/mol]
So, (35.44) [g] / (17.8) [mol] = 2.0 grams / mole
