Which of the two gases, ammonia and hydrogen chloride, will diffuse faster and by what factor?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By Graham's Law `:`
`(r_(NH_(3)))/( r_(HCl)) = sqrt((M_(HCl))/( M_(NH_(3))) ) = sqrt((36.5)/( 17)) ~~ 1.46 rArr r_(NH_(3))= 1.46"" r_(HCl)`
Thus, ammonia will diffuse 1.46 times faster than hydrogen chloride gas.
