Solution
The correct option is CStatement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect. Option C is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is correct. Nitrogen gas effuses faster than Oxygen gas. This is because, Nitrogen is a lighter gas than Oxygen.
Statement 2 is false. The reason being, molecular mass of Nitrogen is 28g/mol and the molecular mass of Oxygen is 32g/mol . This is because each molecule of Nitrogen or Oxygen is made up of two atoms of Nitrogen or Oxygen respectively.
