normal

The ratio $C_p/C_v$ for a gas mixture consisting of $8\ g$ of helium and $16\ g$ of oxygen is

A

$\frac {23}{15}$

B

$\frac {15}{23}$

C

$\frac {27}{17}$

D

$\frac {17}{27}$

Solution

$\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{2 \times \frac{3}{2} \mathrm{R}+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{5}{2} \mathrm{R}}{2+\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{R}+\frac{5 \mathrm{R}}{4}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{17 \mathrm{R}}{4} \times \frac{2}{5}$

$=\frac{17 \mathrm{R}}{10}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\gamma-1}$

$\Rightarrow 17 \gamma=27$

$\gamma=\frac{27}{17}$
