If one gas has four times the molecular weight of another, how does it effuse relative to the lighter gas?
AAt double the rate
BAt a quarter of the rate
CAt half the rate
DAt four times the rate
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. At half the rate
The rate ratio is the inverse square root of 4, which is one half, so the heavier gas is slower.
