A gas mixture consists of 8 moles of argon and 6 moles of oxygen at temperature T . Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is
Options
- A29 R T
- B20 R T
- C27 R T
- D21 R T
Correct answer
C. 27 R T
Step-by-step solution
As we know, internal energy is given by, U = n C v T . Also argon gas is monoatomic and oxygen gas is diatomic. Therefore, total internal energy will be U n e t = n 1 C V 1 T + n 2 C V 2 T = 8 × 3 R 2 × T + 6 × 5 R 2 × T = 27 R T
