A sample of N2O effuses from a container in 48 seconds. How long would it take the same amount of gaseous I2 to effuse from the same container under identical conditions?

1 answer

What is the ratio of the molecular masses of I2 to N2O?

Diffusion is inversly proportional to the sqrare root of mole masses.

RateI2=RateN2O sqrt (molmassN2O/molmassI2)
