When two atoms combine, the overlap of their atomic orbitals produces molecular orbitals.
Use equation
number of moles= sample mass/molar mass
For this problem, we use Graham's Effusion Law to find out the rate of effusion of chlorine gas. The formula is as follows:
R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
Let 1 be N₂ while 2 be Cl₂
255/R₂ = √(28/70.8)
Solving for R₂,
R₂ = 405.5 s
<em>Thus, it would take 405.5 s to effuse chlorine gas.</em>
An atomic mass unit (symbolized AMU or amu) is defined as precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass.
