How many times faster will helium gas effuse compared to neon gas?

Solutions

Expert Solution

   He gas                                                    Ne gas

atomic mass of He (MHe) = 4g/mole                atomic mass of Ne ( MNe) = 20g/mole

rate of effuse of He                r He =                  rate of effuse of Ne r Ne

               r He/r Ne    = MNe/MHe

             r He/r Ne     = 20/4

             r He/r Ne   = 2.24

             r He             = 2.24 r Ne

    2.24 times faster will helium gas effuse compared to neon gas
