Learning Laws of Thomas Graham by solving this (2) =)
If equal amounts of HELIUM and ARGON are placed in a porous container and allowed to escape, which gas will escape faster and how much faster?
terms : The molecular weight of He = 4.00 The molecular weight of Ar = 39.95
Graham's Law is: rate 1 / rate 2 = √Molar Mass2 / √Molar Mass1

1 solution
Set rate1 = He = x Set rate2 = Ar = 1
Graham's Law is:
Substituting, we have:
so Gas of He is 3.16 times faster than gas of Ar
