    X mL of \[{{H}_{2}}\] gas effuses through a hole in a container in 5 seconds. The time taken for the effusion of the same volume of the gas specified below under identical conditions is

    A) 10 second: His   

    B) \[20\text{ }second\text{ }:\,{{O}_{2}}\]

    C) 25 second: CO  

    D) \[~55\text{ }second\text{ }:\,C{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]
    Under identical conditions,\[\frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{{{M}_{1}}}}\]
    As rate of diffusion is also inversely proportional to time, we will have, \[\frac{{{t}_{2}}}{{{t}_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{{{M}_{1}}}}\]
    [a] Thus, for he,\[{{t}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{4}{2}}\left( 5s \right)=5\sqrt{2s}\ne 10s\]
    [b] For \[{{O}_{2}},{{t}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{2}}(5s)=20s\]
    [c] For\[CO,{{t}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{28}{2}}(5s)\ne 25s\]
    [d] For\[C{{O}_{2}},{{t}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{44}{2}}(5s)\ne 55s\]
