JEE AdvancedChemistryGaseous StateNumerical+3 / −1
The diffusion coefficient of an ideal gas is proportional to its mean free path and mean speed. The absolute temperature of an ideal gas is increased 4 times and its pressure is increased 2 times. As a result, the diffusion coefficient of this gas increases x times. The value of x is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​:

Correct answer: 4

  1. For an ideal gas, the diffusion coefficient is proportional to mean free path and mean speed:

D∝λ vˉD \propto \lambda \, \bar{v}D∝λvˉ

  1. Mean free path of a gas is given by

λ∝TP\lambda \propto \frac{T}{P}λ∝PT​

because

λ=kT2 πd2P\lambda = \frac{kT}{\sqrt{2}\,\pi d^2 P}λ=2​πd2PkT​

  1. Mean speed is proportional to the square root of temperature:

vˉ∝T\bar{v} \propto \sqrt{T}vˉ∝T​

  1. Therefore,

D∝λ vˉ∝TP⋅T=T3/2PD \propto \lambda \, \bar{v} \propto \frac{T}{P}\cdot \sqrt{T} = \frac{T^{3/2}}{P}D∝λvˉ∝PT​⋅T​=PT3/2​

  1. Now temperature is increased 444 times and pressure is increased 222 times:

D2D1=(4T)3/2/(2P)T3/2/P\frac{D_2}{D_1} = \frac{(4T)^{3/2}/(2P)}{T^{3/2}/P}D1​D2​​=T3/2/P(4T)3/2/(2P)​

  1. Simplify:

D2D1=43/22=82=4\frac{D_2}{D_1} = \frac{4^{3/2}}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4D1​D2​​=243/2​=28​=4

So,

x=4x = 4x=4
