A 4: 1 molar mixture of He and CH4 is contained in a vessel at 20 bar pressure. Due to a hole in the vessel, the gas mixture leaks out. What is the composition of the mixture effusing out initially?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Applying Graham's law of effusion, we get
`(r_(He))/(r_(CH_(4)))=sqrt((M_(CH_(4)))/(M_(He)))=sqrt((16)/(4))=sqrt(4)=2`
i.e., He diffuses two times faster than `CH_(4)`.
Therefore, the molar ratio of `He` and `CH_(4)` effusing out initially is `8 : 1`.
