A gaseous mixture of two ideal gases X and Y, is placed in a container with a pinhole. The initial mass ratio of X to Y inside the container is 1 : 8. If the initial mass ratio of the gases effusing out through the pinhole is observed to be , what is the ratio of the collision frequency of gas X molecules with each other to the collision frequency of gas Y molecules with each other inside the initial container ? (Assume the collision diameters of X and Y are identical) :

Answer:
0.50
Solution:

By Graham's law:

Given and :

Number density ratio:

Collision frequency (assuming the same collision diameter), hence:
