Answer:
Graham's law of effusion was formulated by Scottish physical chemist Thomas Graham in 1848. Graham found experimentally that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles. This formula can be written as: , where: Rate₁ is the rate of effusion for the first gas.
Explanation:
r1 = rate of effusion for gas 1
r2 = rate of effusion for gas 2
M1 = molar mass of gas 1
M2 = molar mass of gas 2
