Equal volumes of two monoatomic gases, A and B at same temperature and pressure are mixed. The ratio of specific heats (Cp/Cv) of the mixture will be
- 0.83
- 1.50
- 3.3
- 1.67
Answer
(4) 1.67
Solution
For a monoatomic gas: Cv = 32R and Cp = Cv + R = 52R
∵ Both gases are monoatomic, the mixture also has Cv = 32R and Cp = 52R per mole
⇒ CpCv = 5/23/2 = 53 = 1.67
Answer: (4)
