Ques. Pure O2 diffuses through an aperture in 224 seconds. whereas a mixture of O2 and another gas containing 80 % O2 diffuses from the same in 234 seconds.
What is the molecular weight of the gas?

Proceed by the concept of effective molecular mass.
molecular mass = Weightnumber of moles
So assume that the molecular mass of the gas is M. So the effective molecular mass of the mixture will be = 2M + 8*3210
Now use grahams law. t2t1 = √MO2√Meff
