The ratio of masses of oxygen and nitrogen in a particular gaseous mixture is 1 : 4. The ratio of number of their molecules is:

Options

  1. A1 : 4
  2. B7 : 32
  3. C1 : 8
  4. D3 : 16

Correct answer

B. 7 : 32

Step-by-step solution

Let the mass of oxygen be xx gm
∴∴ Mass of nitrogen = 4x4x gm
Number of molecules = 6.023 x 1023 x number of moles
∴Ratio=6.023×1023×no. of moles of oxygen6.023×1023×no. of moles of nitrogen∴ \text{Ratio} = \dfrac{\text{6.023} \times 1 {0}^{2 3} \times \text{no. of moles of oxygen}}{\text{6.023} \times 1 {0}^{2 3} \times \text{no. of moles of nitrogen}}
