Answer:
CH4
Explanation:
Rate of diffusion is indirectly proportional to square root of density.
Hence, lightest has will have most rapid diffusion.
Mass of CH4 is least which is equal to 12 + (4×1) =16 amu.

diffuses most rapidly.
Explanation:
To calculate the rate of effusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.
This law states that the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:
Molar mass of = 71 g/mol
Molar mass of = 44 g/mol
Molar mass of = 16 g/mol
Molar mass of = 28 g/mol
Thus as molar mass of is lowest, it diffuses most rapidly.
