Correct option is C)

Let us take x gm of each of the components.

Molecular Mass of SO

2

=64

∴ moles of SO

2

=

64

Molecular Mass of CH

4

=16

∴ moles of CH

x

Molecular Mass of O

2

=32

∴ moles of O

The ratio of no of moles of SO2 and CH4 effused out initially is 1 : 2.

A container having a pin-hole contains equal masses of SO2 and CH4.

We have to find the ratio of no of moles of SO2 and CH4 effused out initially.

According to Graham's law of diffusion/effusion, "It states that under specific temperature and pressure, the rate of diffusion or effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of their density."

i.e., r ∝ 1/√d

∵ d = PM/RT and r = no of moles effused or diffused/time taken

∴ n/t ∝ 1/√M    [P , R and T are constant ]

⇒ n₁/n₂ = √M₂/√M₁

Here, M₁ = molar mass of SO2 = 64 g/mol

M₂ = molar mass of CH4 = 16 g/mol

Now, n₁/n₂ = √(16)/√(64) = 1/2

Therefore the ratio of no of moles of SO2 and CH4 effused out initially is 1 : 2.
