    A certain gas takes three times as long to effuse out as helium. Its molecular mass will be

    A)  27u                       

    B)  36u              

    C)  64 u                      

    D)  9 u               

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From Graham's diffusion law, \[\frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{{{M}_{1}}}}\] or            \[\frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{t}_{1}}}\times \frac{{{t}_{2}}}{{{V}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{{{M}_{1}}}}\] \[\because \]Volume is same, \[\therefore \]\[\frac{3}{1}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{4}}\]or\[9=\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{4}\]or\[{{M}_{2}}=9\times 4=36u\]
