Answer:
So ²³⁵UF₆ effuses 1.0043 times faster than ²³⁸UF₆
Explanation:
The rate of effusion of two gases A and B can be expressed by <em>Graham's law</em>:
Where M is the molar mass, and in this case A is ²³⁵UF₆ while B is ²³⁸UF₆.
So now we <u>calculate the molar mass of each mass</u>:
²³⁵UF₆ ⇒235 + 6*19 = 349 g/mol
²³⁸UF₆ ⇒238 + 6*19 = 352 g/mol
Putting the data in Graham's law:
= 1.0043
So ²³⁵UF₆ effuses 1.0043 times faster than ²³⁸UF₆.
