  1. A 1.414
  2. B 0.707
  3. C 2.312
  4. D 1.732
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.414

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Graham's Law: Under similar conditions of pressure, the rate of diffusion of different gases is inversely proportional to the square root of molecular mass of the respective gases. r1r2=M2M1⇒r1r2=MO2MCH4=3216=1.414
