Why do nitrogen diffuse faster at a higher temperature?
Nitrogen, because the molecules are lighter and therefore they spread out quicker.To know the lighter objects we will check the molecular mass(Mr)by seeing the upper number in the periodictable
What is lighter oxygen or nitrogen?
Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Is hydrogen gas faster than nitrogen gas and why?
Because its lighter! obviously!! Hydrogen is the lightest gas of all.. KNOW THAT!
Why are amines lighter than water?
Amines are organic compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Amines are derivatives of ammonia, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group.Amines are lighter than water because the molecule density is less than of water's. Aka there is more space between the molecules.
What happens if you put a igneous rock in water?
it would float because it is lighter than water.

What happens when water vapor is lighter than nitrogen or oxygen?
Water vapor is a gas so it is in the air. Nitrogen and nitrogen are in the air too, but there is more nitrogen than anything in the air. I believe it rises because it is lighter, like a balloon filled with helium.
Why does helium float?
Helium molecules are lighter than most air molecules in the atmosphere (mostly nitrogen and oxygen) therefore they are prone to rise while heavier molecules move downward.
What is lighter oxygen or nitrogen?
Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Does nitrogen dioxide diffuse faster than neon?
No. Gaseous diffusion is a function of mass, with lighter molecules diffusing more rapidly. Neon (approximate atomic mass of 20) is considerably lighter than nitrogen dioxide (approximate molecular mass 46).
Is there nitrogen in lighter fluid?
Naphtha .
Why do nitrogen oxide particles travel faster than bromine particles?
Because your mom F**K people... >< JK Nitrogen is lighter than bromine...
What is the difference between dry air and wet air?
the answer is atmosphere and trosphere
Why is it that the nitrogen have greater amount than oxygen?
nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Which is lighter oxygen helium or nitrogen?
Helium
Are warm air masses lighter than cold air masses?
Warm air masses are lighter than cold air masses because the molecules of cold air move slower than the warm air's molecules.
Why does hydrogen rise in air?
this happens because hydrogen is lighter than air
