    A gaseous mixture contains \[56\,\,g\] of \[{{N}_{2}}44\,\,g\] of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] and \[16\,\,g\] of\[C{{H}_{4}}\]. The total pressure of mixture is \[720\,\,mm\] of\[Hg\]. The partial pressure of methane is:

    A) \[75\,\,atm\]                    

    B) \[160\,\,atm\]

    C) \[180\,\,atm\]  

    D)        \[215\,\,atm\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    First of all we have to calculate the number of moles. Number of moles of\[{{N}_{2}}=\frac{56}{28}=2\] Number of moles of\[C{{O}_{2}}=\frac{44}{44}=1\] Number of moles of\[C{{H}_{4}}=\frac{16}{16}=1\] \[\therefore \]Total number of moles\[=2+1+1=4\] \[\therefore \]mole fraction of\[C{{H}_{4}}\] \[\therefore \]partial pressure of \[C{{H}_{4}}\] = mole fraction of \[C{{H}_{4}}\times \] total pressure \[=\frac{1}{4}\times 720=180\,\,atm\]
