A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen has volume 2000cm32000{cm}^{3}, temperature 300K300K, pressure 100kPa100kPa and mass 0.76g0 . 76g. The ratio of number of moles of hydrogen to number of moles of oxygen in the mixture will be

[Take gas constant R=8.3JK−1mol−1R = 8 . 3J{K}^{- 1}{mol}^{- 1}]

Options

  1. A13\dfrac{1}{3}
  2. B31\dfrac{3}{1}
  3. C116\dfrac{1}{16}
  4. D161\dfrac{16}{1}

Correct answer

B. 31\dfrac{3}{1}

Step-by-step solution

From the ideal gas equation, total number of moles in the mixture are,

n=PVRT=2×10−3×100×103×325×300n = \dfrac{PV}{RT} = \dfrac{2 \times {10}^{- 3} \times 100 \times {10}^{3} \times 3}{25 \times 300}⇒n=225=0.08⇒ n = \dfrac{2}{25} = 0 . 08

If number of moles of oxygen are n1{n}_{1} and of hydrogen are n2{n}_{2}

n1+n2=n=0.08…(1){n}_{1} + {n}_{2} = n = 0 . 08 \ldots \left(1\right)

And total mass of the mixture

n1(32)+n2(2)=0.76…(2){n}_{1}\left(32\right) + {n}_{2}\left(2\right) = 0 . 76 \ldots \left(2\right)

Solving the above equations,

n1=0.02{n}_{1} = 0 . 02 and n2=0.06{n}_{2} = 0 . 06

n2n1=3\dfrac{{n}_{2}}{{n}_{1}} = 3
