Toxicants generally follow the Law of Diffusion , moving from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.
<h3><u>What are Toxicants ?</u></h3>
Any hazardous chemical is a toxicant. Both naturally occurring and artificial toxicants have the potential to be harmful. A toxin, in contrast, is a poison created spontaneously by an organism (e.g. plant, animal, insect). The many toxicant categories may be present in the air, land, water, or food.
A substance is toxic if it has the potential to be harmful or have negative effects on health. Chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxin, which are present at some hazardous waste sites, often cause people to worry.
<h3><u>What is the Law of Diffusion ?</u></h3>
Graham's law of diffusion states that the ratio of the diffusion rate of two gases is the same as the ratio of the square root of the molar mass of the gases.

#SPJ4
a. 381.27 m/s
b. the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide = 2.5 faster than nitrogen triiodide
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
T = 100 + 273 = 373 K
Required
a. the gas speedi
b. The rate of effusion comparison
Solution
a.
Average velocities of gases can be expressed as root-mean-square averages. (V rms)
R = gas constant, T = temperature, Mm = molar mass of the gas particles
From the question
R = 8,314 J / mol K
T = temperature
Mm = molar mass, kg / mol
Molar mass of Sulfur dioxide = 64 g/mol = 0.064 kg/mol
b. the effusion rates of two gases = the square root of the inverse of their molar masses:
M₁ = molar mass sulfur dioxide = 64
M₂ = molar mass nitrogen triodide = 395
the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide = 2.5 faster than nitrogen triodide
