Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{19}{13}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}} \operatorname{mix}=\frac{n_{1} C_{P_{1}}+n_{2} C_{P_{2}}}{n_{1} C_{V_{1}}+n_{2} C_{V_{2}}}\)

\(\frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}} \operatorname{mix}=\frac{n \times\left(\frac{5 R}{2}\right)+2 n\left(\frac{7 R}{2}\right)}{n \times \frac{3 R}{2}+2 n\left(\frac{5 R}{2}\right)}\)

\(\frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}=\frac{19}{13}\)
