17.40 sec is the time will take to smell second perfume after diffusion takes place
Acc. to Graham's law of Diffusion
Diffusion of Gas inversely proportional to square root of its Molecular mass.
rb (Perfume B)
ra(perfume A)
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{Ma}{Mb} }[/tex] its equation (1)
Give molar mass of Perfume A = 275 g/mol
molar mass of Perfume B= 205g/mol putting value in (1)
» [tex]\frac{rb}{ra}=\sqrt{\frac{275}{205} }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{rb}{ra} =1.16[/tex] its eq (2)
» Perfume B will defuse 1:16 times faster than perfume A.
Hence, perfume B will be first smelled by Person.
Sf Equal volume V of two goes diffuse in t1 and t2 sec. respectively ton
[tex]\frac{ra}{rb}=\frac{tb}{ta}[/tex]
Now,, from eq(2) toto
1/1:15 = [tex]\frac{tb}{ta}[/tex]
ta
Given tb =the smell of Perfume B as it diffuse faster
ta= 1.15 x 15 see
=ta2=17.40 sec
