AIPMT PRELIMS 2012 Chemistry Effusion and Diffusion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium

50 mL of each gas A and of gas B takes 150 and 200 seconds respectively for effusing through a pin hole under the similar conditions. If molecular mass of gas B is 36, the molecular mass of gas A will be

A

64

B

96

C

128

D

32

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using Graham's law of effusion: rate of effusion ∝ 1/√molar mass. (150/200) = √(36/M), solving gives M = 32.
