A gaseous mixture containing 2 g H2,8 g He,22 g O2 is enclosed in a vessel. The gas with highest partial pressure is?
Given,
H2−2g
He−8g
O2−22g
The partial pressure of any gas is directly proportional to the number of moles.
Moles = weightmass
H2=2/2=1
He=8/4=2
O2=22/32=0.68
Helium has the highest moles so, it has the highest pressure.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
