Chapter 10, Problem 93RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From two given gases the gas that will effuse more rapidly under condition is to be determined. The ratio of the rate of effusion of these two gases is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Graham’s law explains the phenomenon of diffusion and effusion in gaseous molecules. In diffusion, gaseous molecules mix with other gaseous molecules, or intermingle with the molecules of air because of their random motions. Effusion is the movement of gaseous molecules from system to vacuum through a small hole or a narrow space.
