    Identify the pair of gases that have equal rates of diffusion

    A) \[CO,\text{ }NO\]                           

    B) \[{{N}_{3}}O,\text{ }CO\]

    C) \[{{N}_{2}}O,C{{O}_{2}}\]            

    D) \[C{{O}_{2}},N{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Rate of diffusion depends upon the molecular masses of gases. Therefore, the gases which have equal molecular mass, have equal rates of diffusion. \[\frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{{{M}_{1}}}}\] Molecular mass of \[{{N}_{2}}O=28+16=44\] Molecular mass of \[C{{O}_{2}}=12+32=44\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{r}_{N{{O}_{2}}}}}{{{r}_{C{{O}_{2}}}}}=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{r}_{N{{O}_{2}}}}={{r}_{C{{O}_{2}}}}\]
