Which of the following statements about Graham's law are correct?
AThe rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density at constant T and P
BUnder identical conditions HX2 diffuses four times as fast as OX2
CThe rate of diffusion of a gas is directly proportional to its pressure at constant temperature
DGases with equal vapour densities diffuse at equal rates under identical conditions
Answer: A, B, C, D
Graham's law: r∝MP, and d∝M at fixed T and P, so (A) and (C) hold. rOX2rHX2=32/2=4 (B). Equal vapour density means equal molar mass, so equal rates (D). All four are correct.
