Answer:
Carbon monoxide is the gas which diffuses at the same rate as nitrogen gas.
Option b
Explanation:
The rate of diffusion across a membrane is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass of the substance.
Nitrogen gas and carbon monoxide both have the molecular mass of 28.
So their rate of diffusion should also be the same.
Other gases which are given in the options are sulphur Dioxide, neon and carbon dioxide have molecular mass greater than that of carbon monoxide and nitrogen and hence the diffuse much lower as compared to two carbon monoxide and nitrogen.
