Question

compare the rate of diffusion between fluorine and chlorine gas.fluorine gas has a molecular mass if 32 grams,chlorine gas has a molecular mass of 70.90 grams

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

rate of diffusion of fluorine gas is more than chlorine gas as due to molecula weight of chlorine gas is more than the fluorine gas

rate of diffusion of flourine/rate of diffusion of chlorine is given by = root(molecular mass of chlorine/ molecular mass of fluorine)

so r is inversely proportional to the molecular weight
