Question

Which of the following gas will have highest rate of diffusion? (A)  NH3  (B)  N2  (C)  CO2  (D)  O2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Rate of diffusion, r propto (1/√M) MNH3=17; MN2=28; MCO2=44 and MO2=32 Lower the molecular mass, higher is the rate of diffusion. Thus, NH3 has the highest rate of diffusion among the given.

Q. Which of the following gas will have highest rate of diffusion?

$N H_{3}$

$N_{2}$

$C O_{2}$

$O_{2}$

Rate of diffusion, $r \propto \frac{1}{M}$ $M_{N H_{3}} = 17;$ $M_{N_{2}} = 28;$ $M_{C O_{2}} = 44$ and $M_{O_{2}} = 32$ Lower the molecular mass, higher is the rate of diffusion. Thus, $N H_{3}$ has the highest rate of diffusion among the given.
