Effusion
Process in which a gas flows through a small hole in a container
Graham's law of effusion
The rate of effusion of gas molecules from a particular hole is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass of the gas at constant temperature and pressure
Rate of effusion depend on 3 factors
1. The cross-sectional area of the hole- larger the hole, more likely molecules are to escape  2. The number of molecules per unit volume- more crowded, more likely to encounter the hole 3. The average molecular speed- faster the molecules, the sooner they will escape
