A.4.0
B.0.1
C.0.5
D.2.0?
ratex/ratey=sqrt(2/.5)=4 times
Grahams Law.
Yes
To find the rate of diffusion of gas X relative to gas Y, we need to compare their densities. The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the density. The formula for the rate of diffusion is:
Rate of diffusion ∝ 1/√(density)
Let's calculate the rate of diffusion of gas X relative to gas Y.
Given:
Density of gas X = 0.5 g/dm³
Density of gas Y = 2.0 g/dm³
Rate of diffusion of gas X relative to gas Y = √(Density of gas Y / Density of gas X)
Rate of diffusion of gas X relative to gas Y = √(2.0 / 0.5)
Rate of diffusion of gas X relative to gas Y = √(4)
Rate of diffusion of gas X relative to gas Y = 2.0
Therefore, the rate of diffusion of gas X relative to gas Y is 2.0.
The answer is D. 2.0.
