Detailed Solution

According to Graham law of diffusion,

Rate, r1M   ;(Here 'M' is molar mass)

For Hydrogen (H2) gas, M.W = 2;  For Helium (He), M.W = 4

For Nitrogen (N2) = 28;  For HCl gas, M.W = 36.5

In the above all gases, HCl has more molecular weight.

Therefore, HCl has slowest rate of diffusion.
