12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal
One mole of ideal monoatomic gas $\left( {\gamma = 5/3} \right)$ is mixed with one 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
$\gamma_{\operatorname{mix}}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}\right)_{\operatorname{mix}}}{\left(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}\right)_{\operatorname{mix}}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1} \mathrm{Cp}_{1}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \mathrm{Cp}_{2}}{\mathrm{n}_{1} \mathrm{Cv}_{1}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \mathrm{CV}_{2}}$
