A container contains equal masses of \(\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{He}, \mathrm{CO}_2\) and Ne at a certain temperature. Which of the following gas exerts maximum partial pressure?

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_2\)
  2. B He
  3. C \(\mathrm{CO}_2\)
  4. D Ne
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{H}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Partial pressure \(P_i = x_i P_{total}\), where \(x_i = \frac{n_i}{n_{total}}\). Since \(n_i = \frac{m}{M_i}\) and \(m\) is constant, \(P_i \propto \frac{1}{M_i}\).
