text: An application of this law suggests that hydrogen fuel pipelines would often develop problematic, microscopic leaks.
full_question: An application of this law suggests that hydrogen fuel pipelines would often develop problematic, microscopic leaks. Though today often replaced with centrifuges, an application of this law was the basis for the separation of uranium 235 from uranium 238 during the Manhattan Project. Unlike Fick’s Laws, this law can govern a process that occurs through a hole whose diameter is smaller than the mean free path of some given particles. For 10 points, name this law which states that the rate of effusion for two gases is inversely proportional to the square root of their molar masses.
