Calculate the ratio of the effusion of \(\mathrm{CO}\) and \(\mathrm{N}_2\), when temperature and pressure gradients are held constant?

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(1: 1\)
  3. C \(2: 1\)
  4. D \(1: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles. Rate of effusion \(\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text { Molecular mass }}}\) If two gases \(\mathrm{CO}\) and \(\mathrm{N}_2\) are at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio…
