Question

out of two gases carbon dioxide and methane which gas will diffuse rapidly??

Answer 1

Diffusion of gases can quantitatively be described through Graham's law where it states that under the similar conditions of temperature and pressure the rate of diffusion of a gas remains inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

So out of carbon dioxide and methane gas, the latter will diffuse faster because of its lighter weight than carbon dioxide.
