Question

Given the model, answer the following questions regarding effusion. The orange spheres have a greater root-mean-square speed than the blue spheres. Assume the balloon has a tiny opening for gas molecules to escape. 

a. Which balloon, A or B, most accurately illustrates the effusion of a gas from the central balloon? 

a. Balloon A

b. Balloon B

c. cannot tell from the information provided

 

b. Calculate the relative rate of effusion for the orange to blue spheres. The root-mean-square speed for the orange spheres is 555.0 m/s. The root-mean-square speed for the blue spheres is 378.0 m/s.
