Balloons may contain tiny microscopic holes, which allow the gas particles within to escape via effusion. Suppose a 4.30 L ballo
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The balloon filled with Helium will effuse more quickly.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Balloon 1: Has a volume 4.3L , a pressure of 1.68 atm and is filled with 1.21g of Helium

Balloon 2: Has also a volume of 4.3 L and a pressure of 1.68 atm but is filled with 39.63 grams of Xenon

Molar mass of He = 4g/mol

Molar mass of Xe = 131.3 g/mol

Since He is lighter than Xe, the effusion rate for He will be larger than that for Xe, which means the time of effusion for He will be smaller than that for Xe.

The balloon filled with Helium will effuse more quickly.
