What kind of gas is most affected by thermal escape?

Light gases; Gases that are light weight will more easily reach escape velocity than heavier gases.


Why does a gas fills completely in a vessel?

Because gas molecules easily diffuse and fill completely a closed vessel.


Why nitrogen diffuse faster than chlorine?

The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of that gas. So, lighter gases will diffuse faster than heavier gases. The molar mass for N2 gas is 28 g/mole and that for Cl2 gas is about 71 g/mol, so N2 will diffuse faster.


What are the characteristics of gas matter?

Which of the carbon monoxide sulfur dioxide nitrogen dioxide and ozone diffuse at the slowest rate?

According to Graham's Law, diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of that gas. Put another way, the heavier the gas, the slower it will diffuse. CO is 28; SO2 is 64; NO2 is 46; O3 is 48. So the slowest to diffuse would be SO2.


Which gas will diffuse faster between bromine and chlorine and why?

Bromine is a liquid, so chlorine, as a gas, will diffuse faster.

The gas state is one of the four classical states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma). The gas hasn't a form, a hardness, has a low density and viscosity, easily diffuse, the intermolecular forces are not important, etc.
