A mixture of gases contains \(H_2\) and \(O_2\) gases in the ratio of \(1 : 4\ (w/w).\) What is the molar ratio of the two gases in the mixture?

  1. A \(16 : 1\)
  2. B \(2 : 1\)
  3. C \(1 : 4\)
  4. D \(4 : 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4 : 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the mass of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) gas be \(\mathrm{x} \mathrm{g}\) and mass of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) gas \(4 \mathrm{xg}\) Molar \(\quad \quad \mathrm{H}_{2}: \mathrm{O}_{2}\)
