Solved: An equimolar mixture of H2 and D2 effuses through
Chapter 5, Problem 5.152(choose chapter or problem)
An equimolar mixture of \(H_2\) and \(D_2\) effuses through an orifice (small hole) at a certain temperature. Calculate the composition (in mole fractions) of the gases that pass through the orifice. The molar mass of \(D_2\) is 2.014 g/mol.

QUESTION:
An equimolar mixture of \(H_2\) and \(D_2\) effuses through an orifice (small hole) at a certain temperature. Calculate the composition (in mole fractions) of the gases that pass through the orifice. The molar mass of \(D_2\) is 2.014 g/mol.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The ratio of the diffusion rates of two gases is dependent on their molar masses as follows;
Here,
and = Diffusion / effusion rates
and = Molar masses
