(A) Under the same conditions as in Example 6-16, another unknown gas requires 131.3 s to escape. What is the molar mass of this unknown gas?

(B) Given all the same conditions as in Example 6-16, how long would it take for a sample of ethane gas, C2H6, to effuse?

Example 6-16

A sample of Kr(g) escapes through a tiny hole in 87.3 s. The same amount of an unknown gas escapes in 42.9 s under identical conditions. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas?
