(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the diffusion of ammonia through an atmosphere of helium is faster or slower than through air in Example 19.9 is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The mutual diffusion constant involves the three mean free paths, that is, between like gas particles and between the different gas particles. The mutual diffusion constant is given by,
Where,
