QUESTION: Problem 56P
What is the ratio of effusion rates for the lightest gas, H2, and the heaviest known gas, UF6?
ANSWER:
Solution 56P:
Here, we are going to find out the ratio of effusion rates for both the gases H2 and UF6.
Step 1:
Effusion is a process by which a gas escapes from its container through a tiny hole into an evacuated space.
Graham’s law of effusion:
It states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.
Rate of effusion ----(1)
Where, is the molar mass.
Thus,
