Graham's law of diffusion states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass, under constant temperature and pressure conditions. Mathematically, the law can be expressed as:
Rate of diffusion ∝ 1/√(Molar mass)
where the symbol "∝" means "proportional to" and Molar mass is the mass of one mole of the gas.
This means that the lighter gas molecules will diffuse faster than the heavier gas molecules. The law helps to explain the behavior of gases
