The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely related to the molecular weight of that gas. The lighter the gas, the faster it diffuses. Hydrogen is the lightest of all gases having a molecular weight of only 2. Thus it diffuses faster than all others.

Does hydrogen diffuse faster than methane?
Yes, hydrogen diffuses faster than methane. The hydrogen molecule, H2, is the smallest of all molecules and it is considerably smaller than the methane molecule, CH4. Smaller molecules move faster, and therefore diffuse faster, at any given temperature, than larger molecules.
Which gas will diffuse faster methane or carbon dioxide?
Helium diffuses twice faster as Methane does.
Which gas diffuses faster carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
CO diffuses faster than CO2 because it is a smaller molecule
Why ink diffuses faster than honey in water?
the ink diffuses faster than water because the ink has very small particles in it and it occupies space in between the molecules of water but honey is more denser than water and its Viscosity is more than water.thats why ink diffuses faster than ink
What gas diffuses more quickly hydrochloric acid or ammonium hydroxide?
Two gasses at the same temperature have the same average amount of kinetic energy per molecule. An ammonia (NH3) molecule has less mass than hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride, HCl) molecule. Since the NH3 has the same amount of kinetic energy as the more massive HCl, ammonia molecules will move faster and thus diffuse faster. Kinetic energy ~ 1/2*m*v2
Why does hydrogen gas diffuses faster than other gases?
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely related to the molecular weight of that gas. The lighter the gas, the faster it diffuses. Hydrogen is the lightest of all gases having a molecular weight of only 2. Thus it diffuses faster than all others.

How are hydrogen and chlorine can be separated by passage through a porous pot?
Hydrogen diffuses in faster than chlorine into the porous pot. Most of the chlorine remains outside the pot.
Which gas will diffuse faster methane or carbon dioxide?
Helium diffuses twice faster as Methane does.
Which gas diffuses faster carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
CO diffuses faster than CO2 because it is a smaller molecule
Why ink diffuses faster than honey in water?
the ink diffuses faster than water because the ink has very small particles in it and it occupies space in between the molecules of water but honey is more denser than water and its Viscosity is more than water.thats why ink diffuses faster than ink
Why hydrogen diffuses four times more than helium?
because the mass of hydrogen is less than that of helium

What is the molecular mass of a gas that diffuses through a porous membrane 2.17 times faster than Xe?
17.2
What is the moleculer mass of a gas that diffuses through a porous membrane 1.86 times faster than Xenon what might the gas be?
Xenon has a relative mass of 131.293. A gas which diffuses 1.86 times faster would have a mass of 37.950 approx. The nearest gas is Argon with a mass of 39.948.
How much faster does hydrogen escape through a porous container than sulfur dioxide?
How much faster does hydrogen escape through porous container than sulphur dioxide
Chlorine diffuses 2.04 faster than gas Q Find molecular weight of gas Q?
the approximate answer is 300 g/mol
