Solution

The correct option is B

68.55 cm


By Graham's law of diffusion:

rNH3rHBr=8117=2.18

Thus , NH3 travels 2.18 times faster than HBr.In other words,NH3 will travel 2.18 cm in the same time in which HBr travels 1cm.Given that the length of the tube=100cm.

Therefore, distance travelled in the tube by

NH3=2.182.18+1×100 = 68.55 cm

Thus , NH4Br will first appear at a distance of 68.55 cm from NH3 end.

Required distance = 68.55 cm from NH3 end.
