Question

Nitrogen dioxide (mr=46) and Sulphur dioxide (mr= 64) are gases that cause acid rain.if their rates of diffusion are measuredat 22°c and 44°c which gas is expected to have a faster rate of diffusion at this temperature
a. Nitrogen dioxide at 22°c
b. Nitrogen dioxide at 44°c
c.sulphur dioxide at 22°c
d.sulphur dioxiedat 44°c​

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Nitrogen dioxide at 44

Explanation:

Rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to mass.Rate of diffusion is directly proportional to temperature.

Nitrogen dioxide's mass less than that of sulphur dioxide, thus high rate of diffusion,

Nitrogen at 44 has high temperature which results in higher rate of diffusion
