Detailed SolutionApplying the Graham's law defination; i.e,\(\frac{R(SO_2)}{R(CH_4)} = \sqrt{\frac{M(CH_4)}{M(SO_2)}} = \frac{t(CH_4)}{t(SO_2)}\) Where t(SO\(_2\)) = ?, M(SO\(_2\)) = 64 t(Ch\(_4\)) = 20 sec, M(Ch\(_4\)) = 16 therefore, \(\frac{t(SO_2)}{20}\) = \(\sqrt{\frac{64}{16}}\) \(\frac{t(SO_2)}{20}\) = \(\frac{8}{4}\) t(SO\(_2\)) = 8 x \(\frac{20}{4}\) = 40 sec. |
