JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3ig033

Which of the following statements about Graham's law are correct?

  1. AThe rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density at constant and
  2. BUnder identical conditions diffuses four times as fast as
  3. CThe rate of diffusion of a gas is directly proportional to its pressure at constant temperature
  4. DGases with equal vapour densities diffuse at equal rates under identical conditions

Answer: A, B, C, D

Graham's law: , and at fixed and , so (A) and (C) hold. (B). Equal vapour density means equal molar mass, so equal rates (D). All four are correct.
