Explanation

According to Graham’s law of diffusion, the rate at which a gas diffuses is inversely proportional to the density of the gas. Volume of the gas diffusion Rate of diffusion of gas= Time Taken 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 1 , Molar Mass=2 Vapour Density r d r d r d Also r M r M >> x >> Kinetic theory of gases
