Statement 1: Graham's law is a limiting law, i.e., it is best applied at low pressures for gases.

Statement 2: Graham's law is valid only for ideal gases.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Statement 1 is correct: Graham's law of diffusion is exact only in the ideal-gas (low-pressure) limit, so it is a limiting law applied best at low pressures. Statement 2 is incorrect: the law is not restricted to ideal gases — real gases obey it well at low and moderate pressures (it was verified experimentally with real gases); they merely deviate increasingly at high pressure. The word "only" makes II false. Ans: (c).
