A given volume of methane diffuses in 20s. How long will it take the same volume of sulphur (IV) oxide to diffuse under the same conditions?
[C = 12, H = 1, S = 32, O = 16

A.

5s

B.

20s

C.

40s

D.

60s

Correct answer is C

Relative molecular mass of CH4 = 12 * 1 + 4 = 16
Relative molecular mass of SO2 = 32 + 10 *2 = 64
tSO2/tCH4 = √MSO2/MCH4
t/20 = √64/16 = √4
t/20 = 2
∴ t = 20 * 2 = 40sec
