Solution
The correct option is C124 The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass. RARB=√MBMA
14=√MBMA
116=MBMA
MAMB=161 .....(1)
WAWB=23.....(2)
Divide (2) with (1)
nAnB=WAWBMAMB=23161
nAnB=23×116
nAnB=124
The ratio of the mole fractions is equal to the ratio of the number of moles. It is equal to 124.
