By using Graham law of diffusion or effusion:
"\\frac{t_2}{t_1}=\\sqrt{\\frac{m_2}{m_1}}" ;
where "t_1" and "t_2" are the time required for effusion of gases and "m_1" and "m_2" are molecular mass of gases.
"t_2=12.6\\ min" ;
"t_1=7 \\ min";
"m_1=14\\times 2=28\\ gm" ;
Using the above equation:
"\\frac{12.6}{7}=\\sqrt{\\frac{m_2}{28}}" ;
"m_2=90.72 \\ gm" (mass of unknown gas)
