The ratio of rates of diffusion of gases (A ) and (B ) is (1: 0.707 ). If the molecular weight of (B ) is 32 , the molecular weight of (A ) is
Options
- A2
- B64
- C16
- D8
Correct answer
C. 16
Step-by-step solution
Rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of molecular weight. ( aligned i.e. R & 1 M R_A R_B & = M_B M_A 1 0.707 & = 32 M_A 1 0.499849 & = 32 M_A M_A & =15.99 16 aligned )
