Problem

A mixture of 0.5 mole of CO and 0.5 mole of

\text{CO}_2

is taken in a vessel and allowed to effuse out through a pinhole into another vessel which has vacuum. If a total of

A

mole has effused out in time

t

, show that

M_1A + M_2(1-A) = 36

, where

M_1

and

M_2

are mean molar masses of the mixture that has effused out and the mixture still remaining in vessel respectively.
