Graham’s law tells is how gases move through porous materials, like air in a balloon. Ever noticed how balloons don’t stay inflated forever? That’s because the gas diffuses through the balloon skin itself. And if you take a good look, helium balloons deflate the next day, whereas normal air balloons will keep for a few days. Small helium molecules effuse through the tiny holes in the balloon skin much faster than normal air does.
