\(20 \mathrm{~mL}\) of gas \(A\) and \(10 \mathrm{~mL}\) of gas \(B\) diffuses through a porous membrane separately in 1 minute. If the vapour density of \(B\) is \(X\), what is the vapour density of \(A\) ?

  1. A \(2 x\)
  2. B \(4 x\)
  3. C \(\frac{x}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{x}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{x}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rate of diffusion \(\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text { Molecular mass }}}\) Molecular mass \(=2 \times\) vapour density Rate of diffusion \(\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \times \text { vapour density }}}\)…
