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

    A)  1/2                                       

    B)  2/3

    C)  1/4                                       

    D)  1/3

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Let the weights of methane and oxygen \[=xg\] Moles of methane \[=\frac{x}{16}\] Moles of oxygen \[=\frac{x}{32}\] Mole fraction of oxygen \[\text{=}\frac{\text{moles}\,\text{of}\,\text{oxygen}}{\text{total}\,\text{number}\,\text{of}\,\text{moles}}\] \[=\frac{\frac{x}{32}}{\frac{x}{16}+\frac{x}{32}}=\frac{1}{3}\] Fraction of pressure exerted by oxygen \[=\frac{1}{3}\]
