Question

Explain why nitrogen gas diffuse faster than chlorine gas

Answer 1

Nitrogen weights 28 units and chlorine is 71 units . In that case nitrogen will diffuse faster

Answer 2

The heavier the molecules, the slower they move - the lighter the molecules, the faster they move. Nitrogen molecules weigh about 28 units. Chlorine molecules weigh 71 units. So we would expect nitrogen to diffuse more quickly than chlorine.
