Question

Methane and sulphur dioxide are taken in mass ratio of 4:1 at 2 atm pressure . The molar ratio of methane and sulphur dioxide effusing out initially is

• A. 32:1
• B. 8:1
• C. 16:1
• D. 2:1

Answer 1

The correct option is A 32:1

$C{H}_4\&S{O}_2$ $\frac{W_{C{H}_4}}{W_{S{O}_2}}=\frac{4}{1}\left(given\right)$

$Molarratio=\frac{\frac{W_{C{H}_4}}{16}}{\frac{W_{S{O}_2}}{64}}=\frac{W_{C{H}_4}}{W_{S{O}_2}}\times 4=\frac{4}{1}\times 4$

$=\frac{16}{1}=16:1$
