A mixture ofCH4andC2H2occupied a certain volume at a total pressure equal to 63 torr. The same gas mixture was burnt toCO2andH2O( l).CO2(g)alone was collected in the same volume and at the same temperature, the pressure was found to be 69 torr.
What was the mole fraction ofCH4in the original gas mixture?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Let no. of moles ofCH4present =n1mole
Let no. of moles of C 2 H 2 present = n 2 mole
CH 4 n 1 +2O 2 CO 2 n 1 +2H 2 O
C 2 H 2 n 2 + 5 2 O 2 2 CO 2 2n 2 +H 2 O
Total no. of moles at initial = n1+ n2
Total no. of moles at final = n1 + 2n2
At constantV & T
P1P2=No. of moles at initialNo. of moles at final
6369=n1+n2n1+2n2 2123=n1+n2n1+2n2
n2n1= 219n1+n2n1=2119
n1n1+n2=1921
Alternative solutions
CH 4 g + 2 O 2 g CO 2 g + 2 H 2 O l 6 3 - x Torr 6 3 - x Torr
C 2 H 2 g + 5 2 O 2 g 2 CO 2 g + H 2 O l x Torr 2 x Torr
P CO 2 = 6 3 - x + 2 x = 6 3 + x = 69 Torr
∴   x = 6 Torr
X CH 4 = 6 3 - 6 6 3 = 5 7 6 3 = 1 9 2 1
