- sulfurarrow_forwardThis relationship is known as Graham’s Law of Effusion. Since both gases are at the same temperature, they must have the same average kinetic energy (½ mv2), where m is mass and v is velocity (like speed). Since both gases have the same average kinetic energy, you can state that ½ mLvL2 = ½ mHvH2. Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you mLvL2 = mHvH2. Rearranging the equation to get both masses on the same side of the equation will give you mL/mH = VH2/VL2. In 3a and 3b, you probably noticed that the heavy gas particles took twice as long to diffuse as the light gas particles. This means that the light gas particles are moving twice as fast, VH/VL = ½. Therefore, VH2/VL2 = ¼. If the light gas was Ne, what would be a reasonable identity for the heavy gas?
