Which of the following gases will have the highest rate of diffusion?

Question

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

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Rate of diffusion propto (1 / M) M = molecular mass M ( CO 2)=44 M ( N 2)=28 M ( NH 3)=17 M ( O 2)=32 Therefore, rate of NH 3 diffusion is greater than other.

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

$C O_{2}$

$N_{2}$

$N H_{3}$

$O_{2}$

Rate of diffusion $\propto (1/ M)$
$M =$ molecular mass
$M (C O_{2}) = 44 M (N_{2}) = 28$
$M (N H_{3}) = 17 M (O_{2}) = 32$
Therefore, rate of $N H_{3}$ diffusion is greater than other.

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

CO2​

N2​

NH3​

O2​

Rate of diffusion ∝(1/M) M= molecular mass M(CO2​)=44M(N2​)=28 M(NH3​)=17M(O2​)=32 Therefore, rate of NH3​ diffusion is greater than other.

$C O_{2}$

$N_{2}$

$N H_{3}$

$O_{2}$

Rate of diffusion $\propto (1/ M)$
$M =$ molecular mass
$M (C O_{2}) = 44 M (N_{2}) = 28$
$M (N H_{3}) = 17 M (O_{2}) = 32$
Therefore, rate of $N H_{3}$ diffusion is greater than other.
