From the given gases, the greatest rate of effusion is of

Explanation:

Rate of effusion of a gas is determined by a law known as Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

It is visible that molar mass is inversely related to rate of effusion. So, the gas having lowest molar mass will have the highest rate of effusion.

For the given gases:

Molar mass of

Molar mass of

Molar mass of

Molar mass of

Molar mass of

The molar mass of methane gas is the lowest. Thus, it will have the greatest rate of effusion.

Hence, the greatest rate of effusion is of
