116) Effusion of a 1:1 mixture of two gases, represented by unshaded and shaded spheres in the
diagram below, through a small pinhole produces the result shown below. The shaded spheres
have a molecular mass of 20 amu. Which gas molecules have the higher average speed and what
is the molecular mass of the unshaded molecules?
A) Unshaded molecules have higher average speed and molecular mass = 14 amu
B) Unshaded molecules have higher average speed and molecular mass = 17 amu
C) Unshaded molecules have lower average speed and molecular mass = 24 amu
D) Unshaded molecules have lower average speed and molecular mass = 29 amu
