    The time of effusion of a gas is directly proportional to the square root of the molar mass

    Let the unknown gas to be represented by y

    therefore;

    Ty/TH2=sqrt (y/H2)

    11.2min/2.31min=sqrt (y/2)

    square both side to remove the square root sign

    (11.2^2 / 2.31^2) = y/2

    23.5=y/2

    multiply both side by 2

    y is therefore 47
