    The rate of effusion of blue is 1.53 times that of orange

    Explanation:

    Rate of effusion of a gas at a given temperature is directly proportional to the speed of the gas and inversely proportional to their masses.

    At equal temperature, two gases will have equal amount of kinetic energy.

    K. E = ½mv²

    K. E = 3/2 KT

    MV² = 3KT

    V² = 3KT / M (single molecule of a gas)

    U² = 3RT / M (mole of molecule)

    3RT = MU²

    RT = constant,

    M1U²1 = M2U²2 for different gases at equal temperature.

    Relationship between speed and rate of effusion =

    m1r²1 = m2r²2 (speed is equal to the rate of effusion)

    M1 / M2 = r²2 / r²1

    M (blue) / M (orange) = r² (orange) / r² (blue)

    M (blue) / M (orange) = 565 / 369

    M (blue) / M (orange) = 1.53

    The molar mass of the blue gas is 1.53 times heavier than the orange gas.

    Relative rate of effusion for the orange to blue spheres = 1.531

    Explanation:

    Rate of effusion of Orange / Rate of effusion of blue = [Mblue / Morange]^1/2

    Vrms = sqrt [ (3RT/M) ]

    Vorange / Vblue = [ Mblue / Morange]^1/2

    Rate of effusion of Orange / Rate of effusion of blue = 565 / 369 = 1.531
