Respuesta :
The order of decreasing rate of effusion of gases is as follows:
Hydrogen, Neon, Oxygen, and Argon.
According to Graham's law:
"The rate of effusion (r) is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass (M) of the gas and is directly proportional to the speed of its movement."
So, [tex]r[/tex] ∝ [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{M} }[/tex]
This indicates that lighter gases will diffuse more quickly.
Now, the molecular mass of H₂= 2g
The molecular mass of O₂ =32g
The molecular mass of Ar = 39.94g
The molecular mass of Ne = 20.17g
Therefore, the rate of effusion is highest in Hydrogen and lowest in Argon.
Hence, the order of decreasing rate of effusion of gases is as follows:
Hydrogen, Neon, Oxygen, and Argon.
