Question
The mass of pure $CH_4$ gas to be mixed with 70 g of pure $CO$ so that the partial pressure of $CO$ is equal to the partial pressure of $CH_4$, is [12]
Answer: A
π‘ Solution & Explanation
For equal partial pressures, the moles of $CH_4$ and $CO$ must be equal [12]. Moles of $CO$ = 70/28 = 2.5 mol [12]. Moles of $CH_4$ must be 2.5 mol [12]. Mass of $CH_4$ = 2.5 * 16 = 40 g [12].
