Eric has convinced his friend Elon to allow him to fly on the Dragon capsule. After this
spacecraft is headed towards Mars an unfortunate accident with a bag of Cheesy Poofs has
punctured the skin of the spacecraft. Due to the hole, the gas in the cabin is exiting to the vacuum
of space. Assuming the atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas, how much
faster does N2 (g) escape than O2 (g) (hint: solve for rate N^2/rateO^2)?
Solution
The movement of particles through a small hole is called effusion.
According to Graham's law, the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to
square root of its Molecular weight. So,
Rate of effusion of N2 (rate 1)= 1/?(Molecular weight of N2
=1/?M1
Molecular weight of N2 = 28.013 g/mol
Rate of effusion of O2 (rate 2)= 1/?M2
Molecular weight of O2 = 32.0 g/mol
So,
Rate N2/rate O2 = ?(M2/M1)
= ?(32.0 g mol^-1 /28.0 13gmol^-1) = 1.0688
This means N2 escapes 1.0688 times faster than O2
