Practice question

**Partial pressure concept** for mixture of non-reacting gases, total pressure sum of partials, each gas behaves independently, kinetic theory still holds with effective n = Σ n_i, mean free path depends on total n and cross-sections, mixture properties weighted by mole tions. P = (μ RT)/(V), P_H₂P_O₂ = μ_H₂μ_O₂.μ_H₂ = (6)/(2) = 3 mol, μ_O₂ = (48)/(32) = 1.5 mol.Ratio = (3)/(1.5) = 2:1. Substituting values gives 2:1, which matches expected kinetic theory result, confirming mean free path λ = 1/(√2 n π d²), ideal gas law P V = n R T and v_rms = √(3 R T/M) relations.
