0.5 mole of each of

{\mathrm{H}_2},\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_2}

and

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_4}

are kept in a container. A hole was made in the container. After 3 h, the order of partial pressures in the container will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

p\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_2} > p\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_4} > p{\mathrm{H}_2}

Option B (

p\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_2} > p\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_4} > p{\mathrm{H}_2}

) is correct because the rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass. Therefore, the gas with the highest molecular mass will have the lowest diffusion rate and hence the highest partial pressure after 3 hours.

A quantity of hydrogen gas occupies a volume of

30 \mathrm{~mL}

at a certain temperature and pressure. What volume would half this mass of hydrogen occupy at triple the absolute temperature and the pressure were one-ninth that of the original gas? In deriving the kinetic equation we make use of the root mean square speed of the molecules which is: Consider the following statements for kinetic molecular theory of gases
