  1. A \(1.50\)
  2. B \(1.53\)
  3. C \(3.07\)
  4. D \(1.40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.50\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know, \(C_v=\frac{3}{5} R T ; C_p=\frac{5 R T}{2}\) for monoatomic gas;
\(C_v=\frac{5}{2} R T ; C_p=\frac{7}{2} R T\) for diatomic gas
Thus, for mixture of 1 mole each,
\(C_v=\frac{\frac{3}{2} R T+\frac{5}{2} R T}{2}\) and \(C_p=\frac{\frac{5}{2} R T+\frac{7}{2} R T}{2}=3 R T\)
Therefore, \(\frac{C_v}{C_p}=\frac{3 R T}{2 R T}=1.5\)
