Answer:
Explanation:
Rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the root of the molecular masses of the compound.
Therfore larger the molecular mass lesser would be the rate and hence would reach slowly.
Therfore NH3 would reach first as compare to the HCl being lighter one.

NH3 is lighter than HCL therefore it diffuse faster. If both are placed in a tube, NH3 would diffuse faster since it's lighter. The ammonia gas having a lower molecular weight than HCL ,will diffuse faster travel a greater length of the tube and NH3 is lighter than HCL
