The unknown gas is $\boxed{{\text{chlorine}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

Effusion is defined as the process by which molecules of gas travel through a small hole from high pressure to the low pressure. According to Graham’s law, effusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

${\text{Rate of effusion}}\left({\text{R}}\right)\propto\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{\mu}}}}$ ......(1)

Where $\mu$ is the molar mass of gas.

The rate of effusion of oxygen is expressed as

${{\text{R}}_{{\text{oxygen}}}}\propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{{{\mu }}__{{\text{oxygen}}}}}}}$ ......(2)

And, the rate of effusion of other gas is expressed as

${{\text{R}}_{{\text{gas}}}}\propto\frac{1}{{\sqrt{{{{\mu }}__{{\text{gas}}}}}}}$ ......(3)

Since rate of effusion of oxygen is 1.49 times of rate of effusion of the unknown gas. Therefore,

${{\text{R}}_{{\text{oxygen}}}}=1.49{{\text{R}}_{{\text{gas}}}}$ ......(4)

Substitute the value of ${{\text{R}}_{{\text{white phosphorus}}}}$ and ${{\text{R}}_{{\text{Neon}}}}$ from equation (2) and equation (3) respectively in equation (4).

$\frac{1}{{\sqrt{{{{\mu }}_{_{{\text{oxygen}}}}}}}}= 1.49\frac{1}{{\sqrt{{{{\mu }}__{{\text{gas}}}}}}}$ ......(5)

Simplify equation (5) as follows:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{{\sqrt{{{{\mu }}__{{\text{oxygen}}}}}}}&=1.49\frac{1}{{\sqrt{{{{\mu }}__{{\text{gas}}}}}}}\hfill\\\sqrt{{{{\mu }}__{{\text{gas}}}}}&=1.49\left({\sqrt {{{{\mu }}__{{\text{oxygen}}}}}}\right) \hfill\\{{{\mu }}__{{\text{gas}}}}&={\left({1.49\left({\sqrt {{{{\mu }}__{{\text{oxygen}}}}}} \right)}\right)^2}\hfill\\\end{gathered}$

Therefore the molar mass of white phosphorus is,

${{{\mu }}__{{\text{gas}}}}={\left({1.49\left({\sqrt{{{{\mu }}__{{\text{oxygen}}}}}}\right)} \right)^2}$ ......(6)

The molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol.

Substitute the value of molar mass of oxygen in the equation (6).

$\begin{aligned}{{{\mu }}__{{\text{gas}}}}&= {\left( {1.49\left({\sqrt {32\;{\text{g/mol}}} } \right)} \right)^2}\\&=71.0432\;{\text{g/mol}}\\\end{gathered}$

Therefore, the calculated molar mass of the unknown gas is 71.0432 g/mol and we know the gas with the molar mass of 71.0432 g/mol is chlorine. So the unknown gas is chlorine.
