Uranium hexafluoride, UF, is an important compound used in the enrichment of uranium by gaseous diffusion. Graham's Law states that rate of effusion A/rate of effusion of B = (square root of Mass of B)/(square root of Mass of A). Calculate how fast 220UF gas diffuses compared to 230UF gas. Assume the temperature remains constant.

Effusion is the process where a gas flows through a small hole in a container. Graham’s Law of Effusion says that the rate of effusion of a gas from a particular hole is inversely proportional to the square root of the MW of the gas (at constant temperature and pressure).
