Question

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen are in the volume ratio 1:4 the initial composition of H2 to O2 in the mixture Diffusing initially is?

Answer 1

@ghazi @Kryten @sauravshakya

Answer 2

\[\frac{ V _{H} }{ V _{O} }=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 3

so it is:
n(H2):n(O2)=1:4
and since those are gasses you can say that:
V(% H2)= 1/5
V(% O2)= 4/5

Answer 4

@Kryten it is in volume ratio and may be there is a container of that volume which holds gases in the ratio

Answer 5

volume ratio is same as molar ratio cause we are talking about gasses! so that ratio is basicly saying that on every one part of hydrogen there are 4 parts of oxygen....

Answer 6

hmm

Answer 7

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen are in the volume ratio 1:4 the initial composition of H2 to O2 in the mixture Diffusing initially is?

Answer 8

i forgot to add Diffusing***

Answer 9

so you are asking for composition of mixture before diffusing?
and it is:
1/5 = 0,2 or 20% H2
and
4/5 = 0,8 or 80% O2
