Answer is: the ratio of the effusion rate is 1.59 : 1.
1) rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 1/√M(CO).
rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 1/√28.
rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 0.189.
2) rate of effusion of chlorine = 1/√M(Cl₂).
rate of effusion of chlorine = 1/√70.9.
rate of effusion of chlorine = 0.119.
rate of effusion of carbon monoxide : rate of effusion of chlorine =
= 0.189 : 0.119 / ÷0.119.
rate of effusion of carbon monoxide : rate of effusion of chlorine = 1.59 : 1.
