Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, are both gases at temperatures above –50 °C. Which gas will diffuse most rapidly at the temperature given?
A hydrogen chloride at –40°C
B hydrogen chloride at –20°C
C hydrogen sulfide at –40°C
D hydrogen sulfide at –20°C

could someone please explain this

Explanation:

A gas at higher temperature is able to gain more heat from the environment/surroundings and has more kinetic energy to diffuse at a faster rate.

Hence a temperature at -20°C is more ideal.

Molar mass of H2S = 34.07g/mol

Molar mass of HCl = 36.45g/mol

Since H2S has a smaller molar mass, the same number of moles of H2S gas will diffuse faster as compared to the same number of moles of HCl gas.

Hence the answer is Hydrogen sulfide at -20°C. (D)

do you have a formula possibly

i would say
