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

Options

A. `P_(N_2) = P_(CO)`
B. `P_(CO) = 0.875 P_(N_2)`
C. `P_(CO) = 2P_(N_2)`
D. `P_(CO) = 1//2 P_(N_2)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Equal masses of `CO` and `N_2` contain equal moles also
On applying charles law:
`P prop n` (At const T and V)
`therefore P_(N_2) = P_(CO)`
