AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Kinetic Theory of Gases

If a gaseous mixture consists of 3 moles of oxygen and 4 moles of argon at an absolute temperature T, then the total internal energy of the mixture is (neglect vibrational modes and R - Universal gas constant)

  1. A 11RT
  2. B 12.5RT
  3. C 13.5RT
  4. D 15.5 RT
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 13.5RT

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(U_{total} = U_{O_2} + U_{Ar}\) \(U_{total} = \frac{5}{2} n_{O_2} RT + \frac{3}{2} n_{Ar} RT\) \(U_{total} = \frac{5}{2}(3)RT + \frac{3}{2}(4)RT\) \(U_{total} = 7.5 RT + 6 RT\) \(U_{total} = 13.5 RT\)
