In: Chemistry
find the ratio effusion rates of hydrogen gas and krytpon gas.
According to Graham's law , the rate of effusion of a gas is inversly proportional to square root of its Molarmass.
So
Where
r1 = rate of Hydrogen gas
r2 = rate of krypton gas
M2 = molar mass of krypton gas(Kr) = 83.8 g/mol
M1 = Molar mass of Hydrogen gas (H2) = 2x At.mass of H
= 2 x 1.008
= 2.016 g/mol
Plug the values we get
So the ratio effusion rates of hydrogen gas and krytpon gas is 6.45 : 1
