The rates of diffusion of \(\mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{CO}_2, \mathrm{PCl}_3\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_3\) are in the following order

  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}_2>\mathrm{SO}_2>\mathrm{PCl}_3>\mathrm{SO}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{PCl}_3>\mathrm{SO}_3>\mathrm{SO}_2>\mathrm{CO}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{SO}_2>\mathrm{SO}_3>\mathrm{PCl}_3>\mathrm{CO}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CO}_2>\mathrm{SO}_2>\mathrm{SO}_3>\mathrm{PCl}_3\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{CO}_2>\mathrm{SO}_2>\mathrm{SO}_3>\mathrm{PCl}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rate of diffusion is the change in number of diffusing molecules inside the cell over a time. Since, net movement of diffusion depends on th concentration gradient, the rate of diffusion \(\propto\) concentration gradient across the membrane. Also, the ratio of rate of diffusion…
