How is the effusion rate of gas related to its molar mass?

A process related to diffusion is effusion, the process by which a gas escapes from a container into a vacuum through a small hole. The rate of effusion is also related to root mean square velocity-heavier molecules effuse more slowly than lighter ones. The rate of effusion-the amount of gas that effused in a given time- is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas.
