Detailed Solution

According to Graham’s law, at constant temperature and pressure the rate of diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to square root of its molecular mass.

r α 1M

Based on the above statement, if molecular mass of a gas is low, then the rate of diffusion is high.

Molar mass of O2=32

Molar mass of CO2=44

Molar mass of NH3=17

Molar mass of N2=28

In the above all gas molecules, ammonia NH3 has lowest molar mass. So that NH3 has the highest rate of diffusion among the given all gases.

has the highest rate of diffusion among the given all gases.
