Chapter 6, Problem 6.124QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The gas X diffuses faster in air than gas Y, the validation of the fact that gas X also likely to effuse faster than gas Y is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Diffusion is the rate at which the gas molecules expand through the big holes in the barrier whereas Effusion happens when there is a presence of one or more than one small holes that stops the gas molecules to expand into the new chamber.

To determine: If gas X is likely to effuse faster than gas Y, if given the gas X diffuses faster in air than gas Y.
