The rate of effusion of ammonia (NH₃) in the same apparatus is 63.3 cm/min
<h3>Graham's law of diffusion </h3>
This states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass i.e
R ∝ 1/ √M
R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
<h3>How to determine the rate of ammonia (NH₃) </h3>
- Rate of HCl (R₁) = 43.2 cm/min
- Molar mass of HCl (M₁) = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g/mol
- Molar mass of NH₃ (M₂) = 14 + (3×1) = 17 g/mol
R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
43.2 / R₂ = √(17 / 36.5)
Cross multiply
43.2 = R₂ × √(17 / 36.5)
Divide both side by √(17 / 36.5)
R₂ = 43.2 / √(17 / 36.5)
R₂ = 63.3 cm/min
Thus, the rate of effusion of ammonia is 63.3 cm/min
