Which of the following can be the basis for separating a mixture of gases?
A
Graham's law of diffusion
B
Boyle's law
C
Charles's law
D
Avogadro's law
Answer
Graham's law of diffusion
Explanation
Solution
Gases with different molecular masses diffuse at different rates according to Graham's law. Lighter gases diffuse faster than heavier gases. This difference in diffusion rates can be used to achieve separation of components in a gas mixture.
