This probably sounds a lot harder than it is. All it really takes is to know the molar mass of each gas. Lighter gases will diffuse faster than heavy gases, so really all you do is sort the weights: C12: 12 F2: 37.9 He: 4 Kr: 83 N2: 14 O2: 15.9 So sort them from fastest to slowest (or largest to smallest): Kr: 83 F2: 37.9 O2: 15.9 N2: 14 C12: 12 He: 4 Then just give them their places. 1. Cl2: fifth 2. F2: second 3. He: sixth 4. Kr: first 5. N2: fourth 6. O2: third

JustSaiyan:

My mistake, you sort them from slowest to fastest. I did the sorting right, but labeled it wrong.

JustSaiyan:

But the answer is still sorted correctly.
