Physics-Ideal Gas Equation

NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

Given a mixture of ideal gases, if the partial pressure ratio of gas A to gas B is 3:2, and the number of moles of gas A, μ1\mu_1, is 0.3 mol, what is the number of moles of gas B, μ2\mu_2?

A

0.2 mol

B

0.45 mol

C

0.5 mol

D

0.4 mol

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

According to the ideal gas equation (P1/P2)=(μ1/μ2)(P_1/P_2) = (\mu_1/\mu_2). Given (P1/P2)=3/2(P_1/P_2) = 3/2 and μ1=0.3\mu_1 = 0.3 mol, we solve (0.3/μ2)=3/2(0.3/\mu_2) = 3/2 to find μ2=0.45\mu_2 = 0.45 mol.
