    Equal weights of \[C{{H}_{4}}\] and \[{{H}_{2}}\] are mixed in a container at \[{{25}^{o}}C\]. Fraction of total pressure exerted by methane is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]               

    B)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{9}\]                

    D)  \[\frac{8}{9}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let w kg of \[C{{H}_{4}}\] and \[H_{2}^{.}\] are taken in a container. \[\therefore \] \[{{n}_{C{{H}_{4}}}}=\frac{w}{16}\] and \[{{n}_{C{{H}_{2}}}}=\frac{w}{2}\] and mole fraction of \[C{{H}_{4}}({{X}_{C{{H}_{4}}}})=\frac{\frac{w}{1.6}}{\frac{w}{16}+\frac{w}{2}}=\frac{1}{9}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{p}_{C{{H}_{4}}}}={{p}_{Total}}\times {{X}_{C{{H}_{4}}}}\] \[={{p}_{Total}}\times \frac{1}{9}\]
