Identify the pair of gases that have equal rates of diffusion

  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}, \mathrm{NO}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{CO}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}, \mathrm{NO}_{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{CO}_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At constant pressure and temperature, the rate of diffusion or effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density. Rate#0 of diffusion \(\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{d}}\) \[ \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{2}}{M_{1}}} \]…
