A mixture of `O_(2)` and gas `"Y"` `( mol. wt. 80)` in the mole ratio `a:b` has a mean molecular weight 40. What would be mean molecular weight, if the gases are mixed in the ratio `b:a` under identical conditions ? ( gases are )A. 40B. 48C. 62D. 72

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
Let mole fraction of `O_(2)` is `x`
`40=32xx x+80(1-x)" "`or `" " x=5//6`
`a+b=x:(1-x)=(5)/(6):(1)/(6)`
When ratio is changed
`M_("mixture")=32xx(1)/(6)+80xx(1)/(6)=72`
