Q27 / 160 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Thermodynamics
A gas mixture consists of moles of oxygen and moles of argon at temperature . Neglecting all vibrational modes we calculated the total internal energy of the system to be . What is the value of ?
Correct answer: 11
Solution
The internal energy of n moles of a gas is
where F = number of degrees of freedom.
The internal energy of 2 moles of oxygen at temperature T is
(F = 5 for oxygen molecule)
The total internal energy of 4 moles of argon at temperature T is
(F = 3 for argon molecule)
Total internal energy
Hence, the correct answer is 11.
