Which is true about the effusion rates of helium and sulphur dioxide when the molar mass of helium is 4 grams/mole and the molar mass of sulphur dioxide is 64 grams?

Sulphur dioxide effuses 4 times faster than helium.



Sulphur dioxide effuses 0.25 times faster than helium.



Helium effuses 0.25 times faster than sulphur dioxide.



Helium effuses 4 times faster than sulphur dioxide.



Molar mass is not related to effusion.

Respuesta :

 mv^2 is a conserved quantity 

so v goes as sqrt(1/m) 

heavier is slower 

64/4 = 16 
sqrt(16) = 4 

B) and D) are both correct strictly speaking - lean towards submitting D) as answer 

so i would say D) 

PLATO USERS, the answer is D
