Answer: The rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the molecular weight of any gaseous substance

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Graham's law of diffusion, the rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the molecular weight of the gaseous substance.

Hence, the lighter the molecular weight, the faster the diffusion.
