To answer this question, you need to know <span>Graham's Law of Effusion/Diffusion formula. In this formula, the rate of diffusion/effusion would be influenced by the mass. As the molecule has bigger mass, the rate should be slower because it will be harder to pass the membrane. The calculation should be:</span>
<span>Rate 1 / Rate 2 = √[M2/M1]
</span>4.11/1= √[M2/2]
M2=33.78 g/mol
399.195 millimeters=0.399195 liters
Silicon, it's bring brother would be the prime candidate, although its compounds are notably different from those of carbon.
