12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal
A gaseous mixture consists of $16\,g$ of helium and $16\,g$ of oxygen. The ratio $(C_p/ C_v)$ of the mixture is
A
$1.4$
B
$1.54$
C
$1.59$
D
$1.62$
Solution
For mixture of gases $:$
$\gamma=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1} \mathrm{Cp}_{1}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \mathrm{Cp}_{2}}{\mathrm{n}_{1} \mathrm{Cv}_{1}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \mathrm{Cv}_{2}}$
$C_{v}=\frac{f R}{2}$
where, $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}=\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{f}}{2}\right) \mathrm{R}$
For helium $: \mathrm{n}_{1}=4, \mathrm{f}=3$
For oxygen $: \mathrm{n}_{2}=\frac{1}{2}, \mathrm{f}=5$
$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}}=\frac{4 \times \frac{5 \mathrm{R}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{7 \mathrm{R}}{2}}{4 \times \frac{3 \mathrm{R}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{5 \mathrm{R}}{2}}=\frac{47}{29}=1.62$
