    The rate of diffusion of methane at a given temperature is twice that of a gas X. The molecular mass of X is

    A)  4.0                                        

    B)  8.0

    C)  32.0                                      

    D)  64.0

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[\frac{Rate\text{ }of\text{ }diffusion\text{ }of\text{ }methane({{r}_{C{{H}_{4}}}})}{Rate\text{ }of\text{ }diffusion\text{ }of\text{ }gas\,'X'({{r}_{X}})}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{mol.\text{ }wt.\text{ }of\text{ }gas({{M}_{X}})}{mol.\text{ }wt.\text{ }of\text{ }methane({{M}_{C{{H}_{4}}}})}}\] \[\frac{{{r}_{C{{H}_{4}}}}}{{{r}_{X}}}=2\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{X}}}{{{M}_{C{{H}_{4}}}}}}\]                 \[=2\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{X}}}{16}}\] \[{{M}_{X}}=16\times {{(2)}^{2}}=64\]
