Calculate the following ratios for a gas at Kelvin temperatures T₁ and T₂ where T₂ = 2T₁.Effusion rate at T₁ : Effusion rate at T₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effusion rate is directly proportional to the square root of the Kelvin temperature. Therefore, the effusion rate at temperature T₂ is √2 times the effusion rate at temperature T₁. The ratio of effusion rates is: Effusion rate at T₁ : Effusion rate at T₂ = 1 : √2 Simplifying this ratio gives: Effusion rate at T₁ : Effusion rate at T₂ = 1 : 0.71 Therefore, the correct choice is C.
