    If both oxygen and helium gases are at the same temperature, the rate of diffusion of \[{{O}_{2}}\] is very close to:

    A)  4 times that of He

    B)  2 times that of He

    C)  0.35 times that of He

    D)  8 times that of He

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to Grahams law of diffusion \[\frac{{{r}_{{{O}_{2}}}}}{{{r}_{He}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{He}}}{{{M}_{{{O}_{2}}}}}}\]                 or            \[=\sqrt{\frac{4}{32}}=\frac{1}{2.83}\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[{{r}_{{{O}_{2}}}}=0.35\,{{r}_{He}}\]
