  1. Question 1

    Q1. The effusion rate of a gas through a small orifice is inversely proportional to the square root of its

    • A) density
    • B) molecular mass
    • C) pressure
    • D) temperature

    Answer: molecular mass

    Explanation: Graham's law applies to effusion; rate ∝ 1/√M, so molecular mass is correct.
