The rate of diffusion of methane is twice that of `X`. The molecular mass of `X` is divided by `32`. What is value of `x` is ?

A

`64.0`

B

`32.0`

C

`4.0`

D

`8.0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(r_("methane"))/(r_(gas))=sqrt((M_(gas))/(M_("methane")) `(Graham's law)
or `2=sqrt((M_(gas))/(16))`
or `M_(gas)=64`
