Interpretation: The ratio of effusion rate for nitrogen and neon needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Graham's law of effusion states that the rate of effusion for a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.
Answer to Problem 1PP
The ratio of effusion rate for nitrogen and neon is 0.849.
Explanation of Solution
Graham's law of effusion states that the rate of effusion for a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.
Molar mass of N2 = 28.02 g/mol
Molar mass of Ne = 20.18 g/mol
So, the ratio of the rate of effusion for nitrogen and neon is
