NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation MCQ Question
In a mixture of neon and oxygen gases with a partial pressure ratio of 3:2, what is the ratio of the number of molecules of neon to oxygen in the mixture?
3:2
2:3
1:1
4:3
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Given that the partial pressure ratio (P1/P2) is 3:2 and using the ideal gas law where P1/P2 = μ1/μ2, the ratio of the number of moles (and hence molecules, since each mole contains Avogadro's number of molecules) of neon to oxygen is also 3:2.
