Question

Ratio of rte of diffusion of hydrogen and nitrogen

Answer 1

Mixtures of different gases can be separated by effusion, because the effusion rate of gases depends on the molecular mass of the gas. This process was implemented in Oak Ridge during World WarII to separate different isotopes of uranium prepared in gaseous from as uranium hexafluoride. Calculate the ratio of the rate of effusion of oxygen gas to that of H2 both at 27.0 Celsius
