The ratio of rate of diffusion of \(\mathrm{SO}_2\) to \(\mathrm{CH}_4\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rate of diffusion of gas (r) \(\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text { Molecular weight of gas }}}\) Molecular weight of \(\mathrm{SO}_2=32+16 \times 2=64\) \(\therefore \quad r_{\mathrm{SO}_2} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{64}}\) Molecular weight of \(\mathrm{CH}_4=12+1 \times 4=16\)…
