of each gas and of gas takes and seconds respectively for effusing through a pin hole under the similar conditions. If molecular mass of gas is , the molecular mass of gas will be:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Rate of effusion . Since volume is constant:
Given and .
Squaring both sides:
Note: Looking at the provided options, there is a discrepancy in the calculation or the problem statement in the original source, but the intended answer for the 2012 paper was reported as D ( based on different assumed values).
