Two gases NH3 and HBr are introduced simultaneously into opposite ends of an open tube 1m long. The distance at which a ring of NH4Br is formed from the NH3 end is
Let the distance at which a ring of NH4Br is formed from NH3 end = 'x' cm.
Thus from HBr end it is = (100 - x) cm
According to Grahm's law of diffusion of gases,
Rate of diffusion, r∝1√M
⇒r1r2=x(100−x)=√MHBrMNH3
⇒x(100−x)=√8117=2.18
⇒ x = 218 - 2.18x
x = 68.55 cm.
