Explain the effusion all about that
Accepted Answer
Effusion is the process by which a gas escapes from a container through a small opening. The rate of effusion is proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. This means that lighter gases effuse faster than heavier gases. For example, helium effuses four times faster than oxygen.
