diffusion because particles move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration
diffusion because particles move from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration
effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a small opening into a larger volume
effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a large opening into a smaller volume

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is this: EFFUSION BECAUSE THERE IS A MOVEMENT OF A GAS THROUGH A SMALL OPENING INTO A LARGER VOLUME.
Effusion refers to the movement of gas particles through a small hole. According to Graham's law, the effusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles.
