On average, children are exposed to more secondhand smoke than adults. Children are significantly affected by secondhand smoke. Children’s bodies are still developing, and exposure to the poisons in secondhand smoke puts them at risk of severe respiratory diseases and can hinder the growth of their lungs. Secondhand smoke is a known cause of low birth weight, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, middle ear infection, and other diseases.

A gas mixture contains hbr, no2, and c2h6 at stp. if a tiny hole is made in the container, which gas will effuse fastest?
Svetllana [295]
<span>This problem is solved by the law of effusion, which states that the rate of effusion is ~ 1/sqrt(molecular weight). Calculate the molecular weights of the different gases: HBr = 80.91 g/mol NO2 = 46.0055 g/mol C2H6 = 30.07 g/mol Thus, the approximate relative rates are HBr ~ 0.112, NO2 = 0.1474 and C2H6 = 0.1824. Answer: C2H6 effuses fastest.</span>
