    Equal masses of methane and oxygen are mixed in an empty container at \[25{}^\circ C\]. The fraction of the total pressure exerted by oxygen is

    A) \[1/2\]                           

    B) \[2/3\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{273}{298}\]               

    D) \[1/3\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let the mass of methane and oxygen = m gm. Mole fraction of \[{{O}_{2}}\] = \[\frac{Moles\,of\,{{O}_{2}}}{Moles\,of\,{{O}_{2}}+Moles\,of\,C{{H}_{4}}}\] \[=\frac{m/32~~~~~}{m/32+m/16}=\frac{m/32}{3m/32}=\frac{1}{3}\] Partial pressure of \[{{O}_{2}}\] Total pressure \[\times \] mole fraction of \[{{O}_{2}}\], \[{{P}_{{{O}_{2}}}}=P\times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{3}P\]
