WHAT DOES EFFUSION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Effusion

Effusion is the process in which a gas escapes through a small hole. This occurs if the diameter of the hole is considerably smaller than the mean free path of the molecules. According to Graham's law, the rate at which gases effuse is dependent on their molecular weight. Gases with a higher molecular weight effuse slower than gases with a lower molecular weight; the number of smaller molecules escaping will be greater but the mass of the larger molecules will be greater. For two gases at the same temperature, and thus having the same kinetic energy, the root mean square molecular speed,, of each gas can be found using the equation where is the Boltzmann constant. Thus, lighter molecules have a higher speed. This results in more molecules passing through the hole per unit time. This is why a balloon filled with low molecular weight hydrogen deflates faster than an equivalent balloon full of higher molecular weight oxygen.
