    1 mole of monoatomic gas \[\left( \gamma =\frac{5}{3} \right)\]value of with 1 mole of diatomic gas \[\left( \gamma =\frac{7}{5} \right)\]what will be the value of y for the mixture?

    A) 1, 45                                      

    B) 1, 4

    C) 1, 54                                      

    D) 1, 5

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    .               (d) Difference in gram-molecular heats \[({{C}_{P}}-{{C}_{V}})\] of an ideal gas is equal to gas constant R. \[\therefore \]    \[{{C}_{P}}-{{C}_{V}}=R\]           ?(i)                  (Mayor's formula) Also the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume is \[\gamma =\frac{{{C}_{P}}}{{{C}_{V}}}\] From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have \[{{C}_{V}}=\frac{R}{\gamma -1}\] For 1 mole of monoatomic gas \[{{C}_{V}}=\frac{R}{\frac{5}{3}-1}=\frac{3}{2}R\] For 1 mole of diatomic gas \[{{C}_{V}}\frac{R}{\frac{7}{5}-1}=\frac{5}{2}R\] Thus, the heat required to raise the temperature of the mixture of 1 mole of monoatomic and 1 mole of diatomic gas by  \[1{{\,}^{o}}C\] is                \[\frac{3}{2}R+\frac{5}{2}R=4R\] Therefore, heat for 1 mole of the mixture to raise its temperature by \[{{1}^{o}}C\]is \[2R\left( =\frac{4R}{2} \right),\] that is, for the mixture to have i.e.,            \[{{C}_{V}}=2R\] \[\frac{R}{\gamma -1}=2R\] or            \[\gamma =1.50\] Alternative: \[\frac{{{n}_{1}}+{{n}_{2}}}{\gamma -1}=\frac{{{n}_{1}}}{{{\gamma }_{1}}-1}+\frac{{{n}_{2}}}{{{\gamma }_{2}}-1}\] For monoatomic gas, \[{{\gamma }_{1}}=\frac{5}{3},{{n}_{1}}=1\] For diatomic gas, \[{{\gamma }_{2}}=\frac{7}{5},{{n}_{2}}=1\] \[\therefore \]                       \[\frac{1+1}{\gamma -1}=\frac{1}{\frac{5}{3}-1}+\frac{1}{\frac{7}{5}-1}\] \[\Rightarrow \]         \[\frac{2}{\gamma -1}=\frac{3}{2}+\frac{5}{2}=4\] \[\Rightarrow \]          \[\gamma -1=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \]            \[\gamma =\frac{3}{2}=1.5\]
