Q21 / 160 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Thermodynamics
A vessel contains two non-reactive gases neon (monatomic) and oxygen (diatomic). The ratio of their partial pressures is . the ratio of number of molecules is
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
As partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is the pressure it would exert for the same volume and temperature, if it alone occupied the vessel, therefore, for common and , and are partial pressures
and
Here, and refer to neon gas and oxygen gas respectively
Now, ( given )
If and are number of molecules of two gases, then
, where and
and
Here, and refer to neon gas and oxygen gas respectively
Now, ( given )
If and are number of molecules of two gases, then
, where and
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
