    Which of the following gas, diffuse, most slowly?

    A) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    B) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{4}}\]

    D)  All of these diffuse at equal rate

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: According to Graham's law                 \[r\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\] \[\therefore \]Greater the molecular mass, lesser will be rate of diffusion. [a] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}-\]molecular mass \[=2\times 12+1\times 6=30\] [b] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}-\] molecular mass\[=2\times 12+1\times 4=28\] [d] \[C{{H}_{4}}-\] molecular mass \[\because \]\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\] has highest molecular mass \[\therefore \]Rate of diffusion is least forC2H6.
