The rate of effusionthat is, leakage of a gas through tiny

Chapter 18, Problem 18.87

(choose chapter or problem)

The rate of effusion—that is, leakage of a gas through tiny cracks—is proportional to \(v_\mathrm{rms}\). If tiny cracks exist in the material that’s used to seal the space between two glass panes, how many times greater is the rate of He leakage out of the space between the panes than the rate of Xe leakage at the same temperature? (a) 370 times; (b) 19 times; (c) 6 times; (d) no greater—the He leakage rate is the same as for Xe.
