NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 1. Some basic concept of chemistry

Equal masses of \(H_2, O_2\) and methane have been taken in a container of volume \(V\) at temperature \(27\, ^o C\) in identical conditions. The ratio of the volumes of gases \(H_2 : O_2 :\) methane would be

  1. A \(8 : 16 : 1\)
  2. B \(16 : 8 : 1\)
  3. C \(16 : 1 : 2\)
  4. D \(8 : 1 : 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(16 : 1 : 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Avogadro's hypothesis, Volume of a gas \((V) \propto\) number of moles \((n)\) Therefore, the ratio of the volumes of gases can be determined in terms of their moles. The ratio of volumes of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}: \mathrm{O}_{2}:\) methane \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\right)\) is given by \(v_{H_{2}}: v_{O_{2}}: v_{C H_{2}}=n_{H_{12}}: n_{O_{2}}: n_{C H_{4}}\)
