Question

Some faculty members of XYZ classes were trying to simplify a problem for students by mentioning data explicity about a gaseous mixture. Information given by them is as follow.
Faculty - 1 : Mixture consist of three gases A, B and C.
Faculty - 2 : Molar mass of B is twice of A & Molar mass of A is 4 times of C.
Faculty 3 : The gas that is neither heaviest nor lightest is 16% by mass.
Faculty - 4 : Molar ratio of heaviest to lightest gas is 2:5
Based on the above information, answer the question that follows.
Which of the following options correctly represents gases A, B and C respectively?

Solution

The correct option is C CH4,O2,He
If the three gases are O2,CH4 and He,
Molar mass of O2=32
Molar mass of CH4=16
Molar mass of He=4
MO2=2MCH4 & MCH4=4MHe
Given, MB=2MA & MA=4MC
A,B,C are CH4,O2 & He respectively.
