A gas of unknown molecular mass was allowed to effuse through a small opening under constant-pressure conditions. It required 10
5 s for 1.0 L of the gas to effuse. Under identical experimental conditions it required 31 s for 1.0 L of O2 gas to effuse. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas. (Remember that the faster the rate of effusion, the shorter the time required for effusion of 1.0 L; in other words, rate is the amount that diffuses over the time it takes to diffuse.)

Answer: protons and neutrons.
The nucleus is made up of 3 subatomic particles that are protons,neutrons and electrons.
General notation of an element is
where, X is the Element, A is the Atomic Mass and Z is the Atomic Number
If we know the number of protons we can easily find out the atomic number of any element because Atomic Number = Number of protons in an element.
And in addition if we know the number of neutrons we can easily find out the atomic mass of an element because
Atomic Mass = (Number of protons) + (Number of neutrons)
If we get to know the atomic number and atomic mass, we can easily tell what element is it by looking from the periodic table.
