12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal
$1\, mole$ of ideal monoatomic gas $\left( {\gamma = 5/3} \right)$ is mixed with $1\, mole$ of diatomic gas $\left( {\gamma = 7/5} \right)$. What is $\gamma $ for the mixture ? $\gamma $ denotes the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure, to that at constant volume
A
$3/2$
B
$23/15$
C
$35/23$
D
$4/3$
Solution

$\gamma_{\operatorname{mix}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}_{1}}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}_{2}}}{\mathrm{n}_{1} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}_{1}}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}_{2}}}$
