The ratio of rates of diffusion of gases \(X\) and \(Y\) is \(1: 5\) and that of \(Y\) and \(Z\) is \(1: 6\). The ratio of rates of diffusion of \(Z\) and \(X\) is

  1. A \(1: 30\)
  2. B \(1: 6\)
  3. C \(30: 1\)
  4. D \(6: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Graham's law of diffusion \[ \begin{aligned} & \frac{r_X}{r_Y}=\frac{1}{5} \\ & \frac{r_Y}{r_Z}=\frac{1}{6} \end{aligned} \] On multiplying Eqs. (i) and (ii),…
