Question

Ne ( g ) effuses at a rate that is ______ times that of Cl 2 ( g ) under the same conditions.

Answer 1

Answer: 1.88times as that of Cl2

Explanation:

According to Graham law of effusion , the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass

Rate= 1/√M

R1/R2 =√M2/M1

Let the rate of diffusion of Ne= R1

And rate of diffusion of Cl2 = R2

M1 ,molar mass of Ne= 20g/mol

M2,molar mass of Cl2 =71g/mol

R1/R2 = √ (71/20)

R1/R2 = 1.88

R1= 1.88R2

Therefore the Ne effuses at rate that is 1.88times than that of Cl2 at the same condition.
