Answer:


CH_(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from laws of diffusion that
rate\alpha\sqrt{(T)/(m) }.

In the given question , it is said that temperature is same in both the cases .

So for rate to become half , molecular mass must be 4 times,ie,

Mass of required gas = 4×mass of He=4×4=16.

Therefore the gas is
CH_(4)
