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.

Why does Co2 diffuse faster?
why does Co2 diffuse faster than So2
Why do substances diffuse faster in hot than in cold temperatures?
In hot water molecule were moving around faster so substances diffuse faster than in cold water.
Which gas will diffuse faster methane or carbon dioxide?
Helium diffuses twice faster as Methane does.
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.
Does Carbon dioxide diffuse faster than sulfur dioxide?
yes :p
Would you expect the particles in chlorine gas to diffuse faster or slower than the particles in argon gas?
The rate of diffusion of a gas depends on the weight of the gas molecules. The heavier the molecules, the slower they move - the lighter the molecules, the faster they move. Nitrogen molecules weigh about 28 units. Chlorine molecules weigh 71 units. So we would expect nitrogen to diffuse more quickly than chlorine.
Why does Co2 diffuse faster?
why does Co2 diffuse faster than So2
How much faster does helium diffuse than oxygen?
Not much faster, but it does diffuse faster than helium because it is lighter.
Why do substances diffuse faster in hot than in cold temperatures?
In hot water molecule were moving around faster so substances diffuse faster than in cold water.
Why nitrogen diffuses faster in high temperature?
Higher temperatures mean more heat energy which translates into more kinetic energy of the molecules of nitrogen gas. This greater kinetic energy allows the molecules to diffuse faster than at a lower temperature and lower kinetic energy.
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).
Does oxygen effuse 1.07 times faster than nitrogen?
No, nitrogen effuse faster than oxygen.
Which of the following substances diffuse faster in a glass of water a drop of honey or blue ink?
If the blue ink is the kind you use in your desktop printer, the ink will diffuse faster. The kind of ink they use to print newspapers will never diffuse.
Which gas will diffuse faster methane or carbon dioxide?
Helium diffuses twice faster as Methane does.
Why is the bond length of nitrogen much shorter than the bond length of chlorine?
Nitrogen, N2, has a triple bond between smalleratoms (period 2) than chlorine, Cl2, has.
Does potassium permanganated diffuse faster than malachite green?
Yes
Why do gases diffuse rapidly while liquids diffuse slowly?
The atomic bonds of gas particles are much weaker than that of liquids, allowing them to diffuse faster
