Paragraph:
\(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) are two volatile liquids with molar weights of \(10 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) and \(40 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively. Two cotton plugs, one soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\) and the other soaked in \(\mathbf{Y}\), are simultaneously placed at the ends of a tube of length \(L=24 \mathrm{~cm}\), as shown in the figure. The tube is filled with an inert gas at \(1\) atmosphere pressure and a temperature of \(300 \mathrm{~K}\). Vapours of \(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) react to form a product which is first observed at a distance \(\mathbf{d} \mathrm{~cm}\) from the plug soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\). Take \(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) to have equal molecular diameters and assume ideal behaviour for the inert gas and the two vapours.

Question:
The experimental value of \(\mathbf{d}\) is found to be smaller than the estimate obtained using Graham's law. This is due to
- A Larger mean free path for X as compared to that of Y.
- B Larger mean free path for Y as compared to that of X.
- C Increased collision frequency of Y with the inert gas as compared to that of X with the inert gas.
- D Increased collision frequency of X with the inert gas as compared to that of Y with the inert gas.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Increased collision frequency of X with the inert gas as compared to that of Y with the inert gas.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As the collision frequency increases then molecular speed decreases than the expected.

- Paragraph:
Properties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour pressure of a pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life. One of its examples is the use of ethylene glycol and water mixture as anti-freezing liquid in the radiator automobiles.

- Paragraph
The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
