The molecular mass of X is less than that of Y.

What is diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules of substances from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration.

The diffusion of gases occur fastest and depends on the molecular masses of the gases.

The higher molecular mass of a gas, the slower, the rate of diffusion, and vice versa.

Therefore, it ca be concluded that the molecular mass of X is less than that of Y.
