Two moles of helium gas is mixed with three moles of hydrogen molecules (taken to be rigid). What is the molar specific heat of mixture at constant volume? R = 8.3 J / m o l K
Options
- A17.4 J / m o l K
- B19.7 J / m o l K
- C15.7 J / m o l K
- D21.6 J / m o l K
Correct answer
A. 17.4 J / m o l K
Step-by-step solution
C v m i x = n 1 C v 1 + n 2 C v 2 n 1 + n 2 = 2 3 2 R + 3 5 2 R 2 + 3 = 3 R + 15 2 R 5 = 21 10 R = 17.4   J / m o l   K
