If NO₂ and NH₃ are allowed to effuse through a porous membrane under identical conditions, the rate of effusion for NH₃ will be ________ times that of NO₂. A) 0.37 B) 0.61 C) 1.6 D) 2.7

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 NH₃ is 17 g/mol and NO₂ is 46 g/mol. The rate of effusion for NH₃ compared to NO₂ is √(46/17) ≈ 1.6.
