Properties of Gases Kinetic Theory of Gases Many independent particles Random motion at high speed Separated by great distances Kinetic Theory of Gases Interact only when they collide 5. Elastic collisions Physical Properties of Gases Diffusion Effusion Permeability Compressibility Expansibility Diffusion spontaneous mixing due to particle motion Effusion gas particles passing through a tiny opening into an evacuated area Both diffusion and effusion are directly related to the speed of the gas molecules. rate of effusion for gas 1 Graham?s Law of Effusion rate of effusion for gas 2 = molar mass2 molar mass1 molar massN = 28.02 g/mol Sample Problem 1 Calculate the ratio of effusion rates between nitrogen (N2) and Argon (Ar). molar massAr = 39.95 g/mol rate of effusion for gas 1
