Methane gas effuses through a porous cup, demonstrating the effect of the size and mass of molecules.
A U-tube containing a green liquid is connected with tubing to a stoppered flask. A syringe is attached to the flask and is used to change the pressure on the green liquid in the U-shaped tube.

Discussion:
View this and the related gas effusion videos and try to determine what properties of gases affect the pressure.
