A mixture of one mole of a monoatomic gas and one mole of a diatomic gas (rigid) are kept at room temperature (\(27^\circ \text{C}\)). The ratio of specific heat of gases at constant volume respectively is:
- \(\frac{7}{5}\)
- \(\frac{3}{2}\)
- \(\frac{3}{5}\)
- \(\frac{5}{3}\)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The specific heat capacities at constant volume are:
\[ (C_V)_{\text{mono}} = \frac{3}{2}R, \quad (C_V)_{\text{dia}} = \frac{5}{2}R. \]
The ratio is:
\[ \frac{(C_V)_{\text{mono}}}{(C_V)_{\text{dia}}} = \frac{\frac{3}{2}R}{\frac{5}{2}R} = \frac{3}{5}. \]
Final Answer: \(3 : 5\).
Top Questions on Thermodynamics
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____
