When ammonia gas, reacts with hydrogen chloride gas, the white solid ammonium chloride, is formed:

The apparatus shown in figure was set up to test Graham's law. A metre stick is placed beside the tube. Cotton wool soaked in is placed in the left-hand end and cotton wool soaked in is placed in the right-hand end. A white cloud of solid appears where the and meet. Assuming the NH3 end to be m and the end to be m on the metre stick, calculate the position at which you would expect the solid to appear.
