Determine the identity of the diatomic gas that effuses 2.5845 times faster than l2 gas. Assume the temperature remains constant. A) O2 B) N2 C) Ar D) F2 E) Br2
Expert Solution
Step 1

Graham's Law of diffusion/ effusion states that the effusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles.

Rate of effusion ARate of effusion B = (Molar mass of B )(Molar mass of A)

The rate of effusion of the gas= 2.5845 x Rate of  I2 gas.

Here the temperature and pressure remain constant.
