Under the same conditions the rate of diffusion of two gases are in the ratio 1:4 the ratio of their vapour densities is

Dear student

The phenomenon of diffusion of a gas can be defined as the tendency of a gas to spread uniformly throughout the space available to it.

The relation between its density and the rate of diffusion of a gas can be represented by Graham’s law which states that "The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density under given conditions of temperature and pressure."

It can be mathematically expressed as

If r1 & rare rates of diffusion with densities d& d2 the above equation becomes,



So ratio of diffusion of two gases under same conditions are 1:4 , so the ratio of their vapour density under same conditions will be 4:1
Hope it is clear
Regards
