Page 21 - According to this law, the velocity of diffusion of different gases is inversely proportional to the square roots of their densities. As an illustration of the truth of this law we may compare the rates of diffusion of hydrogen and oxygen. By measurement it has been found that hydrogen diffuses four times faster than oxygen. Their densities are known to be...
