Question

What does this tell you about the rate of diffusion of hydrogen compared to the other gases in the air? Explain by using term mass

Answer 1

Answer:

Graham's law states that the rate of effusion or of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.

So, R

Hydrogen

/R

Oxygen

=(32/2)

.

5=4

So, rate of diffusion of hydrogen gas is four times faster than oxygen gas.
