A sample of oxygen gas and a sample of hydrogen gas both have the same mass, same volume and the same pressure. The ratio of their absolute temperature is (Molecular wt. of $\mathrm{O}_2 \& \mathrm{H}_2$ is 32 and 2 respectively)
  1. $1: 4$
  2. $1: 8$
  3. $16: 1$
  4. $12: 1$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1=\frac{\mathrm{m}_1}{\mathrm{M}_1} \mathrm{RT}_1 \\ & \mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2=\frac{\mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{M}_2} \mathrm{RT}_2 \end{aligned}$ Dividing (i) by (ii) $\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1}{\mathrm{M}_2}=\frac{32}{2}=\frac{16}{1}$
