JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -1. Solution and colligative properties

At the sea level, the dry air mass percentage composition is given as nitrogen gas : 70.0, oxygen gas : 27.0 and argon gas : 3.0. If total pressure is 1.15 atm , then calculate the ratio of followings respectively :
(i) partial pressure of nitrogen gas to partial pressure of oxygen gas
(ii) partial pressure of oxygen gas to partial pressure of argon gas
(Given : Molar mass of \(\mathrm{N}, \mathrm{O}\) and Ar are 14, 16, and \(40 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively)

  1. A \(4.26,19.3\)
  2. B \(2.59,11.85\)
  3. C \(5.46,17.8\)
  4. D \(2.96,11.2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2.96,11.2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{N}_2}}{\mathrm{Po}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{N}_2} \cdot \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{T}}}{\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{O}_2} \cdot \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{T}}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{N}_2}}{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{O}_2}}\) {using Dalton's law of partial pressure}…
