Question 2 • Chemistry

Which statement describes effusion?

Answer
A
It occurs when a liquid passes through a tiny hole.
B
It occurs when gas molecules disperse throughout a container.
C
It occurs when a gas passes through a tiny hole.
D
It occurs when a liquid disperses throughout a container.

Explanation

Effusion is the movement of gas molecules through a tiny opening, usually into a space with lower pressure. Therefore, the statement that a gas passes through a tiny hole describes effusion. Gas spreading throughout a container is diffusion, not effusion.
