Catalysis

Step 1: Understand Graham's Law of Diffusion. According to Graham's law, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass:

%5Ctext%7BRate%7D%20%5Cpropto%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7BM%7D%7D

where

M

is the molar mass of the gas. Step 2: Compare the molar masses of the gases. - The molar mass of

%5Ctext%7BH%7D_2

2%20%5C%2C%20%5Ctext%7Bg%2Fmol%7D

. - The molar mass of

%5Ctext%7BO%7D_2

32%20%5C%2C%20%5Ctext%7Bg%2Fmol%7D

. - The molar mass of

%5Ctext%7BN%7D_2

28%20%5C%2C%20%5Ctext%7Bg%2Fmol%7D

. - The molar mass of

%5Ctext%7BCO%7D_2

44%20%5C%2C%20%5Ctext%7Bg%2Fmol%7D

. Step 3: Determine the rate of diffusion. Since the rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass, the gas with the lowest molar mass will diffuse the fastest. Among the given gases,

%5Ctext%7BH%7D_2

has the lowest molar mass, so it will have the highest rate of diffusion. Answer: Therefore,

%5Ctext%7BH%7D_2

will have the highest rate of diffusion.
