Solution
The correct option is C Both have the same average kinetic energy per mol Moles of CH4= 4 times of moles of SO2, So pCH4=4pSO2
rCH4rSO2=pCH4pSO2√MSO2MCH4=41√6416=8
¯VCH4¯VSO2=√MSO2MCH4=2
K.E. (per mol) =(32)RT, So same for both.
Partial pressure of a gas is directly proportional to mole fraction of that particular gas.
