Solution

The correct option is C 6.25%
According to the Graham's law of diffusion, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its Molar mass.

% of NH3 converted into product = x.
2NH3NH2+3H2
t=0 2 0 0
t=equilibrium 22x x 3x

Total number of moles = 22x+x+3x

Mmix=(nNH3)×MNH3+(nH2)×MH2+(nH2)×MH2Totalnumberofmoles

Mmix=342+2x

Now, r1r2=M2M1

rSO2=12rmix

rSO2rmix=MmixMSO2
MMix=16

Hence, 16=171+x

x=116
% of x=6.25%
Hence, the correct option is D.
