Solution

The correct option is A 0.9
Given, $P_{h y d r o g e n}$ = 1 atm, $P_{t o t a l}$ = 10 atm

Applying Dalton’s law formula, $P_{t o t a l} = P_{h y d r o g e n} + P_{o x y g e n}$

Therefore, $P_{o x y g e n}$ = 9 atm

Now, the mole fraction of oxygen, $X_{o x y g e n} = \frac{P_{o x y g e n}}{P_{t o t a l}} = \frac{9}{10} = 0.9$

Therefore, the mole fraction of oxygen in the mixture is 0.9.
