From a certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an average value of 28.7 `cm^3` `s^(–1)`. The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to have an average rate of 7.2 `cm^3` `s^(–1)`. Identify the gas. [Hint : Use Graham’s law of diffusion: R1/R2 = ( M2 /M1 )1/2, where R1, R2 are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and M1 and M2 their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence of kinetic

A gas in equilibrium has uniform density and pressure throughout its volume. This is strictly true only if there are no external influences. A gas column under gravity, for example, does not have uniform density (and pressure). As you might expect, its density decreases with height. The precise dependence is given by the so-called law of atmospheres ` n^2` = `n^1` exp [ -mg (`h_2` – `h_1`)/ kB T] where` n-2`, `n-1` refer to number density at heights `h_2` and `h_1` respectively. Use this relation to derive the equation for sedimentation equilibrium of a suspension in a liquid column: `n_2`

Given below are densities of some solids and liquids. Give rough estimates of the size of their atoms : [Hint : Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few
