Solution

Dear student,

According to Graham's law of diffusion, the rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas .
$r a t e α \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} M = m o l a r m a s s m o l a r m a s o f N_{2} O = 28 + 16 = 44 m o l a r m a s s o f C O_{2} = 12 + 32 = 44 A s t h e y b o t h h a v e s a m e m o l a r m a s s e s h e n c e t h e r a t e o f d i f f u s i o n w i l l b e s a m e f o r b o t h u n d e r s i m i l a r c o n d i t i o n s .$
