Question

A certain gas diffuses from two different vessels A and B. The vessel A has a circular orifice while vessel B has square orifice of length equal to the radius of the orifice of vessel A. The ratio of the rates of diffusion of the gas from vessel A to vessel B, assuming same temperature and pressure is

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. Rate is proportional to area. Area A = pi*r^2. Area B = r^2. Ratio = pi. Therefore, correct answer is A.
