A mixture of gases contains H(2) and O(2...

A mixture of gases contains `H_(2)` and `O_(2)` gases in the ratio of `1:4 (w//w)`. What is the molar ratio of the two gases in the mixture?

A

`16:1`

B

`2:1`

C

`1:4`

D

`4:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Suppose `H_(2)=w`, then `O_(2)=4wg`
Moles of `H_(2)=(w)/(2)", Moles of O"_(2)=(4w)/(32)=(w)/(8)`
`"Molar ratio of "H_(2):O_(2)=(w)/(2):(w)/(8)=(1)/(1):(1)/(4)=4:1`
