Equal weights of methane and hydrogen are mixed in an empty container at $25^\circ$ C The fraction of the total pressure exerted by hydrogen is
- $\frac{1}{2}$
- $\frac{8}{9}$
- $\frac{18}{17}$
- $\frac{16}{17}$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is(B): \(\frac{8}{9}\).
Let .v grams of each hydrogen and methane are mixed
\(\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, Moles\, of\, H_2=\frac{x}{2}\)
\(\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, Moles\, of\, CH_4=\frac{x}{16}\)
\(\Rightarrow \, \, \, \, \, \, Mole fraction of H_2 =\frac{\frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{16}}=\frac{8}{9}\)
\(\Rightarrow \, \, \, \, \frac{Partial\, pressure\, of\, H_2}{Total\, pressure }=Mole\, fraction\, of\, H_2=\frac{8}{9}\)

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

States of Matter
The matter is made up of very tiny particles and these particles are so small that we cannot see them with naked eyes.
There are three States of Matter:
The three states of matter are as follows:
Solid State:
- The solid-state is one of the fundamental states of matter.
- Solids differ from liquids and gases by the characteristic of rigidity.
- The molecules of solids are tightly packed because of strong intermolecular forces; they only oscillate about their mean positions.
Liquid State:
- The molecules in a liquid are closely packed due to weak intermolecular forces.
- These forces are weaker than solids but stronger than that of gases.
- There is much space in between the molecules of liquids which makes their flowing ability easy.
Gaseous State:
- In this state of matter, distances between the molecules are large (intermolecular distance is in the range of 10-7-10-5 cm.
- The intermolecular forces experienced between them are negligible.
- Thus, translatory, rotatory and vibratory motions are observed prominently in gases.
