Answer : The rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.
Solution :
According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.
or,
..........(1)
where,
= rate of effusion of nitrogen gas =
= rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas = ?
= molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mole
= molar mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 64 g/mole
Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:
Therefore, the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.
