**Effusion of Gases: Calculation of Molar Mass****Problem Statement:**A gas of unknown molecular mass was allowed to effuse through a small opening under constant pressure conditions. It required 72.0 seconds for 1.00 L of the gas to effuse. Under identical experimental conditions, it required 28.0 seconds for 1.00 L of oxygen gas to effuse. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas. Remember that the faster the rate of effusion, the shorter the time required for effusion; the rate is inversely proportional.**Explanation:**This problem involves applying Graham's law of effusion, which relates to the rates at which two gases effuse. It states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. The equation is:\[\frac{{\text{Rate of effusion of gas 1}}}{{\text{Rate of effusion of gas 2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{{\text{Molar mass of gas 2}}}{{\text{Molar mass of gas 1}}}}\]In this scenario:- Gas 1 is the unknown gas.- Gas 2 is oxygen (O₂), with a known molar mass of 32.00 g/mol.- Effusion times are given, allowing calculation of effusion rates.**To Do:**- Compute the effusion rate (volume per time) for both gases.- Use Graham's law to find the unknown molar mass.
