A metallic carbonyl M(CO)x is in gaseous state. The rate of diffusion of CH4 is 3.31 time faster than this gas under identical conditions. If atomic mass of metal is 63.29, the closest integer value of x is ....

Solution
as we know, rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to square root of molar mass so r1/r2=√M2/M1;3.31=63.3+x∗28/16 So, x ~ 4.
