Given the same conditions of temperature and pressure, which noble gas will diffuse most rapidly

a. he

b. ne

c. ar

d. kr

At the same conditions of temperature and pressure the noble gas with the smallest density will diffuse faster. But since density is proportional to the molecular mass. A look at the periodic table shows that Helium will diffuse faster. The correct answer is A.

Given the same conditions of temperature and pressure the noble gas He will diffuse most rapidly. He is the smallest noble gas and so it can diffuse (pass through) membranes the easiest. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic chemical element.

Correct answer:A
