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
