If CO₂ and NH₃ are allowed to effuse through a porous membrane under identical conditions,the rate of effusion for NH₃ will be ________ times that of CO. A)0.39 B)0.62 C)1.6 D)2.6

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Graham's law of effusion, the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass. The molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol and NH3 is 17 g/mol. The rate of effusion for NH3 compared to CO2 is √(44/17) ≈ 1.6.
