Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen has volume 500 cm3, temperature 300 K, pressure 400 kPa and mass 0.76 g. The ratio of masses of oxygen to hydrogen will be :-

  1. A 3 : 8
  2. B 3 : 16
  3. C 16 : 3 Correct answer
  4. D 8 : 3

Solution

PV = nRT<br><br>400 $\times$ 10<sup>3</sup> $\times$ 500 $\times$ 10<sup>$-$6</sup> = n$\left( {{{25} \over 3}} \right)$ (300)<br><br>n = ${{2 \over {25}}}$<br><br>n = n<sub>1</sub> + n<sub>2</sub><br><br>${{2 \over {25}}}$ = ${{{M_1}} \over 2} + {{{M_2}} \over {32}}$<br><br>Also, M<sub>1</sub> + M<sub>2</sub> = 0.76 gm<br><br>${{{M_2}} \over {{M_1}}} = {{16} \over 3}$
