  1. Question 1

    Q1. The ratio of rates of diffusion of gases A and B is 1 : 2. If the ratio of their masses present in the mixture is 2 : 3, what is the ratio of their mole fractions?

    • A) 1 : 4
    • B) 4 : 1
    • C) 2 : 3
    • D) 3 : 2

    Answer: 1 : 4

    Explanation: Use Graham's law of diffusion: r1/r2 = √(M2/M1). Then, relate mole fractions to mass ratio and molar masses.
