Physics-Ideal Gas Equation

NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

Assertion (A): The ratio of the number of molecules of neon to oxygen in a vessel is equal to the ratio of their partial pressures. | Reason (R): For a mixture of ideal gases, the ratio of partial pressures is equal to the ratio of the number of moles.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The assertion is true because, according to the ideal gas law, at constant temperature and volume, the ratio of partial pressures is equal to the ratio of moles, and hence, the number of molecules. The reason explains this correctly.
