Effusion definitions Flashcards

Average distance traveled by gas molecules between collisions in a container.

Escape of gas molecules through a tiny pinhole, typically one at a time.

Movement of gas from high to low concentration, regardless of direction.

States that effusion rate is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass.

Mass of a given substance divided by the amount of substance, affecting effusion rate.

Atoms or molecules in constant motion, forming gases in a container.

Amount of gas in a given volume, influencing diffusion direction.

Speed at which gas escapes through a pinhole, affected by molar mass.

Gases that do not chemically interact, used in comparing effusion rates.

Relationship between two quantities, either directly or inversely.
