Froma certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an averagevalue of 28.7 cm3s–1.The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured tohave an average rate of 7.2 cm3s–1.Identify the gas.[Hint:Use Graham’s law of diffusion: R1/R2= (M2/M1)1/2,where R1,R2are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and M1and M2their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence ofkinetic theory.]

value of 28.7 cm
3
s
–1.
The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to
have an average rate of 7.2 cm
3
s
–1.
Identify the gas.


[Hint:
Use Graham’s law of diffusion: R
1/R2
= (M
2/M1)1/2,
where R
1,
R
2
are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and M
1
and M
2
their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence of
kinetic theory.]
