    The rate of diffusion of a gas is proportional to

    A)  \[\frac{p}{d}\]                                 

    B)  \[\sqrt{\frac{p}{d}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{pV}{M}\]                                            

    D)  \[\sqrt{\frac{pV}{d}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     According to kinetic theory of gases                 \[pV=\frac{1}{3}mN{{v}^{2}}\] where, m = mass of a single molecule                 N = number of molecules                 v = root mean square velocity                 We know that \[m\times N=M\] \[\therefore \]                  \[pV=\frac{1}{3}M{{v}^{2}}\]                                 \[v=\sqrt{\frac{3pV}{M}}\]                                 \[\frac{M}{V}=d\] where, d is density. \[\therefore \]  \[v=\sqrt{\frac{3p}{d}}\]  or  \[v\propto \sqrt{\frac{p}{d}}\] Rate of diffusion \[(r)\propto v\] \[\therefore \]  \[r\propto \sqrt{\frac{p}{d}}\]
