A cylinder is filled with a gaseous mixture containing equal masses of CO and `N_(2)`. The partial pressure ratio is :

Options

A. `p_(NO_(2)) = p_(CO)`
B. `p_(CO) = 0.875 p_(N_(2))`
C. `p_(CO) = 2 rho_(N_(2))`
D. `p_(CO) = 1//2 p_(N_(2))`.

Answer

A

Explanation

`(W_(CO))/(M_(CO)(28)) = (W_(N_(2)))/(M_(N_(2))(28)) (W_(CO) = W_(N_(2)))`
Since the mole ratio are the same, the partial pressures are also the same i.e. `p_(N_(2)) = p_(CO)`.
