Two non-reactive monoatomic ideal gases have their atomic masses in the ratio 2 : 3. The ratio of their partial pressures, when enclosed in a vessel kept at a constant temperature, is 4 : 3. The ratio of their densities is 

  1. A 1 : 4
  2. B 1 : 2
  3. C 6 : 9
  4. D 8 : 9
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 8 : 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given,  m A m B = 2 3 ​
∵    Volume and temperature is same.
From ideal gas equation, PV=nRT
P n  =  constant
P A n A = P B n B n A n B = P A P B = 4 3 Also, density, ρ=MV
ρ A ρ B = M A / v M B / v = n A m A n B m B
       = 4 3 × 2 3 = 8 9 .
