The molar mass of the other gas is 450.56 g.

Calculation:

Relation between rate of diffusion and molar mass of two gases is given by:

r₁/r₂ = (√m₂)/(√m₁)

Given,

r₁ = 3.2r₂                          

(r₁ is the diffusion rate of CO₂ and r₂ is the diffusion rate of the other gas)

We know

m₁ = molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g

To find,

m₂ = molar mass of the other gas =?

Put the values in the above equation,

r₁/r₂ = (√m₂)/(√m₁)

3.2r₂/r₂ = (√m₂)/(√44)

3.2 = (√m₂)/(√44)

Squaring both the sides,

10.24 = m₂/44

m₂ = 10.24 (44)

m₂ = 450.56 g

Hence, the molar mass of the other gas is 450.56 g.
