Graham’s law for the rate of effusion/diffusion is as follows:
rr = 1/M−−−−√1/M
The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass. Therefore, as molar mass decreases, diffusion/effusion is accelerated.
Assuming that temperature is a constant, the higher the molecular weight, the slower the rate of diffusion.
Imagine you have a bowling ball and a tennis ball. If you use the same strength to impart the same amount of energy to move these balls, the tennis ball will move with a faster speed.
