A sample of neon gas effuses through a pinhole at a rate of 0.49 mL/s. What will be the rate of effusion of krypton gas through the same pinhole? Graham's law of effusion is given by the equation  r1 r2 =    M2 M1  where r1 and r2 are the rates of effusion of gases 1 and 2, and M1 and M2 are their molar masses, respectively.
