If rate of diffusion of $$A$$ is 5 times that of $$B$$, what will be the density ratio of $$A$$ and $$B$$?

A$$\dfrac {1}{25}$$
Correct Answer
B$$\dfrac {1}{5}$$
C$$25$$
D$$5$$

Solution

The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.
$$\dfrac {r_A}{r_B}=\sqrt {\dfrac {d_B}{d_A}}$$
The rate of diffusion of A is 5 times that of B.
$$\left (\dfrac {5r}{r}\right )^2=\dfrac {d_B}{d_A}$$
The density ratio of $$A$$ and $$B$$
$$\dfrac {d_A}{d_B}=\dfrac {1}{25}$$
