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
$\mathrm{U}=\mathrm{U}_{1}+\mathrm{U}_{2}$
$=\mu_{1} C_{v_{1}} T+\mu_{2} C_{v_{2}} T=2 \times \frac{5}{2} R T+4 \times \frac{3}{2} R T$
$=5 \mathrm{RT}+6 \mathrm{RT}=11 \mathrm{RT}$
