Helium gas has a molar mass of 4 g/mol. oxygen gas has a molar mass of 32 g/mol. how much faster or slower would helium effuse t
1 answer:
According to Graham's Law of Diffusion,"the rates of diffusion of two gases are inversely proportional to the square root of their Molar masses or Densities at the same pressure and temperature".
r₁ / r₂ =
Where,
r₁ = Rate of Helium
r₂ = Rate of Oxygen
M₂ = Molar mass of Oxygen = 32 g/mol
M₁ = Molar mass of Fluorine = 4 g/mol
Putting values,
r₁ / r₂ =
r₁ / r₂ =
r₁ / r₂ = 2.82
Result:
Helium gas effuses 2.82 times faster than Oxygen gas.
r₁ / r₂ =
Where,
r₁ = Rate of Helium
r₂ = Rate of Oxygen
M₂ = Molar mass of Oxygen = 32 g/mol
M₁ = Molar mass of Fluorine = 4 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation </h3>Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy
Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy
So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:
Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.
Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level
The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell
the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)
