65.7 g/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

$\frac{Rate_{X}}{Rate_{CO_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{CO_2}}{M_{X}}}$

$\frac{83.3}{102}=\sqrt{\frac{44}{M_{X}}$

Squaring both sides and solving for $M_{X}$

$M_{X}=65.7g/mol$

Hence, the molar mas of unknown gas is 65.7 g/mol.
