    The rate of diffusion of methane at a given temperature is twice of a gas X. The molar mass of the gas X is:

    A) 64                          

    B)        32

    C) 16                          

    D)        8

    E) 4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Relation between rate of diffusions and molar masses of the gases X and\[C{{H}_{4}}\]is \[\frac{{{r}_{x}}}{{{r}_{C{{H}_{4}}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{C{{H}_{4}}}}}{{{M}_{x}}}}\] Let the rate of diffusion of gas \[X=a\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{a}{2a}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{{{M}_{X}}}}\]         (\[\because \]\[C{{H}_{4}}=12.4=16\]) \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{{{M}_{X}}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{M}_{X}}=16\times 4=64\] So, the molar mass of gas X is 64.
