A 0.5 mol sample of he(g) of ne(g) are placed separately in two 10.0 l rigid containers at 25°c. each container has a pinhole opening. which of the gases, , will escape faster through the pinhole and why?
The movement of gases through pinhole is called effusion and the effusion rate indirectly proportional to the molar mass of gas
The lighter mass gas effuses faster than the heavier one so He(g) will escapes faster and it will move with higher average speed because it has less mass than Ne(g)
