COMEDK · Physics · 14. Kinetic Theory of Gases

A gaseous mixture consists of \(16 \mathrm{~g}\) of helium and \(16 \mathrm{~g}\) of oxygen. The ratio \(C_{p} / C_{V}\) of the mixture is

  1. A \(1.4\)
  2. B \(1.54\)
  3. C \(1.59\)
  4. D \(1.62\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.62\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of helium, \(m_{1}=16 \mathrm{~g}\) Mass of oxygen, \(m_{2}=16 \mathrm{~g}\) \(\therefore\) Number of moles of He gas, \[ n_{1}=\frac{m_{1}}{4}=\frac{16}{4}=4 \] Number of moles of \(\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{gas}\), \[ n_{2}=\frac{m_{2}}{32}=\frac{16}{32}=\frac{1}{2} \] We…
