Graham Time of Effusion Calculator

Compare effusion times of two gases via Graham's law t₂/t₁ = √(M₂/M₁).

Description

Compare effusion times of two gases via Graham's law t₂/t₁ = √(M₂/M₁).

Graham Time of Effusion Calculator: Compare effusion times of two gases via Graham's law t₂/t₁ = √(M₂/M₁).

When to use Graham Time of Effusion

Use this chemistry calculator to reproduce a named relationship with explicit quantities and units for study, laboratory planning, or an independent numerical check.

Reference molar mass (g/mol)
Molar mass of the reference gas; must be greater than zero.
Test molar mass (g/mol)
Molar mass of the test gas; must be greater than zero.
Reference time (s)
Effusion time of the reference gas; must be greater than zero.

How Graham Time of Effusion works

Compare effusion times of two gases via Graham's law t₂/t₁ = √(M₂/M₁). The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Test effusion time (s)
Predicted effusion time of the test gas.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Simple gas relationships often assume equilibrium and ideal-gas behavior. High pressure, low temperature, condensation, composition changes, and nonzero compressibility can require a real-gas equation of state.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Check units and significant figures, compare the result with limiting cases, and use measured or source-specific constants where available. Laboratory, safety, and regulatory decisions require validated methods and appropriate uncertainty analysis.
