There is 2.878 x 10-4 mol of an unidentified gaseous substance effuses through a tiny hole in 98.9 s. Under identical conditions, 1.740 x 10-4 mol of argon gas takes 61.5 s to effuse. What is the molar mass of the unidentified substance (in g/mol)? What is the molecular formula of the substance? Under identical conditions, how many moles of ethene (C2H4) gas would effuse in 91.0 s?
