12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal

A gas mixture consists of $2$ moles of oxygen and $4$ moles of argon at temperature $T$. Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is

A

$4\, RT$

B

$15\, RT$

C

$9\, RT$

D

$11\, RT$

Solution

$\mathrm{U}=\mathrm{U}_{1}+\mathrm{U}_{2}$

$=\mu_{1} C_{v_{1}} T+\mu_{2} C_{v_{2}} T=2 \times \frac{5}{2} R T+4 \times \frac{3}{2} R T$

$=5 \mathrm{RT}+6 \mathrm{RT}=11 \mathrm{RT}$
