An experiment is conducted to determine the relative molar masses of two pure gases, Gas \(\text{X}\) and Gas \(\text{Y}\). In identical rigid containers maintained at the same constant temperature and initial pressure, a sample of Gas \(\text{X}\) effuses through a pinhole into a vacuum in \(25\text{ s}\). Under identical experimental conditions, an equal number of moles of Gas \(\text{Y}\) requires \(50\text{ s}\) to effuse through the same pinhole. Assuming both gases exhibit ideal behavior, what is the ratio of the molar mass of Gas \(\text{Y}\) to the molar mass of Gas \(\text{X}\) \(\left(\dfrac{M_{\text{Y}}}{M_{\text{X}}}\right)\)?
