Question

The relative rates of diffusion of ozone as compared to chlorine is 6:5. lf the density of $C{l}_2$ is 35.5, then density of ozone is.

• A. $d=24.65$.
• B. $d=49.3$.
• C. $d=73.9$.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$d=24.65$.

Under similar conditions of temperature and pressure, the rates of diffusion are inversely proportional to the square root of densities.
$\frac{r_{O_3}}{r_{C{l}_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{d_{C{l}_2}}{d_{O_3}}}$
$\frac{6}{5}=\sqrt{\frac{35.5}{d_{O_3}}}$
$d_{O_3}=24.65$
