Explanation:
Graham's Law of Effusion is:
#color(blue)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a) "Rate"_1/"Rate"_2 = sqrt(M_2/M_1)color(white)(a/a)|)))" "#
The Ideal Gas Law is
#color(blue)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a) PV = nRT color(white)(a/a)|)))" "#
We can re-write this to get
∴
Let component 1 be hydrogen and component 2 be oxygen.
