how can we calculate the rate of effusion of nitrogen gas from a cylinder. and how much time it will take??

Dear Rajveer, Apply Grahams law of effusion. it is:- rate(r) of effusion/diffusion is proportional to 1/ root [density(d) ] hecne r1/r2 = root( d2/d1 ) => r1/r2 = root ( M2/M1 ) since [2. vapour density(d)=molecular mass(M) ] now put rate=Volume/time=V/t all sums of this type are solved by this concept. Hope it gets cleared now.
Regards.

r=(volume of gas)/time taken.

rate of effusion=r=(volume of nitrogen gas effusing from the cylinder)/(time taken)
also since pressure and temperature are constant, volume is proprtional to no. of moles
