12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal
The ratio $C_P /C_V$ for a gas mixture consisting of $8\,g$ of helium and $16\,g$ of oxygen is
A
$23/15$
B
$15/23$
C
$27/17$
D
$17/27$
Solution
$\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{av}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1} \mathrm{f}_{1}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \mathrm{f}_{2}}{\mathrm{n}_{1}+\mathrm{n}_{2}}=\frac{\left(\frac{8}{2}\right) 3+\left(\frac{16}{32}\right)(5)}{\left(\frac{8}{2}\right)+\left(\frac{16}{32}\right)}=\frac{145}{45}=\frac{29}{9}$
$y_{a v}=1+\frac{2}{f}=1+\frac{18}{29}=\frac{47}{29}$
