Graham’s Law of Diffusion
Graham’s law of diffusion states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the gas’s density. This law is named after James Clerk Maxwell’s teacher, Thomas Graham.
Rate of Effusion
The rate of effusion is the rate at which a gas escapes from a container. It is measured in terms of the number of molecules of gas that escape per unit time. The rate of effusion is affected by the temperature and the pressure of the gas.
Rate of effusion \[\alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{density}}\alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\]
The rate of effusion is proportional to the product of the molar mass and the square root of the density.
Graham’s Law
In any organization there will be two types of people: those who want to be there and those who don’t.
This law is often attributed to American humorist and writer Erma Bombeck, who is quoted as saying: “In any organization there will be those who lead and those who follow. In most cases, the followers will eventually become the leaders.”
