Which of the following statements is not correct? O The effusion of H₂ is faster than the effusion of O₂ (assuming similar conditions and a rate expressed in units of mol/h). The diffusion of gases occurs more rapidly at higher temperatures. The effusion of Cl₂ is faster than the effusion of CH4 (assuming similar conditions and a rate expressed in units of mol/h). O Diffusion will occur faster at low pressure rather than at high pressure.

Expert Solution
Step 1 Theory

Rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the molar mass of the gas.

Diffusion of gases increases with increase in temperature because the kinetic energy of gases molecules increases.

Diffusion of gases decreases with decrease in temperature.
