    Confidence Building Questions

    A container holding a mixture of gases A and B where the mole fraction of A is xA = 0.65 had a tiny hole leaking into a vacuum, and it takes 6 times as long for a given small quantity of gas B to effuse from the container as it does the same amount of gas A. If the molar mass of gas A is 72.0 g mol-1, what is the molar mass of B in g mol-1?
    This is not an easy question!
