Chapter 5, Problem 59QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of NO passing through the hole is needed to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Rate at which the effusion of gas occur can be calculated by dividing moles of gas (n) to time of effusion (t). Therefore, formula of rate of effusion is -

$rate=\left(\frac{n}{t}\right)$

Rate of effusion is also inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.Therefore, the ratio of rate of effusion of gases is given by following formula-

$\frac{RateofeffusionofgasA}{Rateofeffusionofgas\text{ B}}={\left(\frac{MolarmassofgasB}{Molarmassofgas\text{ A}}\right)}^{1/2}$
