To solve the problem of finding the molar mass of an unknown gas that diffuses four times faster than oxygen, we can use Graham's law of effusion. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand Graham's Law of Effusion Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}} \] where: ...
