    At a certain temperature the time required for the complete diffusion of 200 mL of \[{{H}_{2}}\]gas is 30min. The time required for the complete diffusion of 50 mL of \[{{O}_{2}}\]gas at the same temperature will be

    A)  60 min            

    B)  30 min

    C)  45 min            

    D)  15min

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     According to Grahams law of diffusion, Rate of diffusion, \[r\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}=\frac{V}{t}\] [Here, M = molecular mass, V = volume and t = time] Thus, for \[{{H}_{2}}\]gas, \[\frac{200}{30}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] ?(i) For \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]gas, \[\frac{50}{t}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{32}}\] ?(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[\frac{200\times t}{30\times 50}=\frac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{2}}\] \[t=\frac{\sqrt{16}\times 30\times 50}{200}\] \[=\frac{4\times 30}{4}=30\,\text{min}\]
