Ammonia gas diffuses through a fine hole at the rate `0.5 lit min^-1`. Under the same conditions find the rate of diffusion of chlorine gas.

Explanation

For two gases the rate of diffusion is related to molecular weights as follows
`r_1/r_2=sqrt(M_2/M_1)`
`r_(cl_2)=? M_(NH_3)=17`
`r_(NH_3=0.5lit.min^(-1))M_(Cl_2)=71`
`r_(cl_2)/r_(NH_3)=sqrt(17/71)`
`r_(cl_2)=0.245lit.min^-1`
