Chapter 6, Problem 6.138QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate of effusion of $\text{NO}$ with respect to ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ is to be predicted at a fixed temperature.

Concept introduction: The Graham’s law of effusion states that, “the rate of effusion of gaseous molecules is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass of the gas molecules”.

$r\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}$

To determine: The rate of effusion of $\text{NO}$ with respect to ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ at a fixed temperature.
