At a certain temperature the time required for the complete diffusion of \(200 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) gas is 30 min. The time required for the complete diffusion of \(50 \mathrm{mL}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) gas at the same temperature will be

  1. A \(60 \mathrm{min}\)
  2. B \(30 \mathrm{min}\)
  3. C \(45 \mathrm{min}\)
  4. D \(15 \mathrm{min}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(30 \mathrm{min}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Graham's law of diffusion. Rate of diffusion, \(r \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}=\frac{V}{t}\) Here, \(M=\) molecular mass, \(V=\) volume and \(t=\) timel Thus, for \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) gas, \[ \frac{200}{30}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] for \(O_{2}\) gas,…
