1. Suppose o2, n2 and Ar were placed at 1.00 atm and 273 K in closed containers. A tiny hole is opened in each container, allowing each gas to diffuse into another container filled with neon gas. What is the ratio of the rate of diffusion of nitrogen to the rate of diffusion of oxygen? Is this greater than, less than, or the same as the ratio of the rates of effusion for the two gases?
