2.

The apparatus shown is set up. After 20 minutes a white rimg of ammonium chloride is seen at position Y. Which statement aout the molecules of ammonia and hydrogen chloride is correct?

a)

molecules in ammonia have a larger Mr than molecules of hydrogen chloride and so they move more slowly

b)

molecules in ammonia have a larger Mr than molecules of hydogen chloride and so they move more quickly

c)

molecules in ammonia have a smaller Mr than molecules of hydogen chloride and so they move more slowly

d)

molecules in ammonia have a smaller Mr than molecules of hydogen chloride and so they move more quickly
