0.5 mole of each of H ₂, SO ₂ and CH ₄ are kept in a container. A hole was made in the container. After 3 ~h , the order of partial pressures in the container will be
Options
- ApSO ₂> pH ₂> pCH ₄
- BpSO ₂> pCH ₄> pH ₂
- CpH ₂> pSO ₂> pCH ₄
- DpH ₂> pCH ₄> pSO ₂
Correct answer
B. pSO ₂> pCH ₄> pH ₂
Step-by-step solution
Rate of diffusion 1 molecular mass Order of diffusion : H ₂> CH ₄> SO ₂ and amount left is in the order SO ₂> CH ₄> H ₂ Hence, order of partial pressure is pSO ₂> pCH ₄> pH ₂
