Which of the following relations is correct regarding rate of diffusion of a gas?
Options
- Adirectly proportional to its density
- Bdirectly proportional to its molecular mass
- Cdirectly proportional to the square of its molecular mass
- Dinversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass
Correct answer
D. inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass
Step-by-step solution
According to Graham's law of diffusion, under identical conditions of temperature and pressure, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density or molecular mass.
where is the rate of diffusion and is the molecular mass of the gas.
Therefore, the rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.
Answer: inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass
where is the rate of diffusion and is the molecular mass of the gas.
Therefore, the rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.
Answer: inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass
