1. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 12th May Evening Shift )

Equal masses of H 2 (   g ) and He ( g ) are enclosed in a container at constant temperature. The ratio of partial pressure of H 2 to He is

A. 1 : 1

B. 1 : 2

C. 2 : 1

D. 1 : 4

Correct Option is (C)

Let the mass be ', x '.

n H 2 = xg 2   g   mol 1 = x 2

n He = xg 4   g   mol 1 = x 4 n Total  = 3 x 4

Now,

x H 2 = n n Total  = x / 2 3 x / 4 = 2 3 x H e = n n Total  = x / 4 3 x / 4 = 1 3

Now,

P H 2 = x H 2 × P Total  = 2 3 × P P He = x He × P Total  = 1 3 × P P H 2 : P H e = 2 / 3 P 1 / 3 P = 2 : 1
