Physics-Ideal Gas Equation

NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

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?

A

3:2

B

2:3

C

1:1

D

4:3

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
