A gas evolved from the fermentation of glucose is found to effuse through a porous barrier in 15.0 min. Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, it takes an equal volume of N2 12.0 min to effuse through the same barrier. Calculate the molar mass of the gas and suggest what the gas might be.
