The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular weight of the gas. The lighter a gas is, the faster it will effuse; the heavier a gas is, the slower it will effuse:

Effuserate1Effuserate2=M2M1=282=14=3,74\frac{Effuse–rate_1} {Effuse–rate_2} =\sqrt{\frac {M_2} {M_1}}=\sqrt{ \frac {28}{2}}=\sqrt{14}=3,74

ANSWER: The effusion of the He atom is 3.74 times faster than the effusion of the N2 molecule.
