Rate₁ / Rate₂ vs Molar Mass of Gas 1
Fórmula
## Graham's Law of Effusion ### Formula **Rate₁ / Rate₂ = √(M₂ / M₁)** Where: - **Rate₁, Rate₂** = effusion rates of gas 1 and gas 2 - **M₁, M₂** = molar masses of gas 1 and gas 2 Lighter gases effuse faster. The rate is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass.
Ejemplo Resuelto
Compare effusion rates of H₂ (2 g/mol) and O₂ (32 g/mol).
- 01Rate₁/Rate₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
- 02Rate₁/Rate₂ = √(32/2)
- 03Rate₁/Rate₂ = √16
- 04Rate₁/Rate₂ = 4.0
- 05H₂ effuses 4 times faster than O₂
Preguntas Frecuentes
What is Graham's Law?
Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Lighter molecules move faster.
What is the difference between diffusion and effusion?
Effusion is gas escaping through a tiny hole into a vacuum. Diffusion is mixing of gases through space. Graham's Law applies exactly to effusion and approximately to diffusion.
How was uranium enriched using this law?
In the Manhattan Project, UF₆ gas was effused through barriers. ²³⁵UF₆ (lighter) effused slightly faster than ²³⁸UF₆, gradually separating the isotopes.
