The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the degrees of freedom for the gas mixture For a monatomic gas, the degrees of freedom (F1) is 3. For a rigid diatomic gas, the degrees of freedom (F2) is 5. - Number of moles of monatomic gas (N1) = 5 - Number of moles of diatomic gas (N2) = 1 Using the formula for the degrees of freedom of the mixture: \[ F_{mixture} = \frac{N_1 F_1 + N_2 F_2}{N_1 + N_2} \] Substituting the values: \[ F_{mixture} = \frac{5 \cdot 3 + 1 \cdot 5}{5 + 1} = \frac{15 + 5}{6} = \frac{20}{6} = \frac{10}{3} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the value of gamma (γ) The value of gamma (γ) is given by: \[ \gamma = 1 + \frac{F_{mixture}}{2} \] Substituting the value of \(F_{mixture}\): \[ \gamma = 1 + \frac{10/3}{2} = 1 + \frac{10}{6} = 1 + \frac{5}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \approx 1.67 \] ### Step 3: Determine the final temperature (Tf) after adiabatic compression For an adiabatic process, we use the relation: \[ T_1 V_1^{\gamma - 1} = T_2 V_2^{\gamma - 1} \] Where: - \(T_1 = T_0\) - \(V_1 = V_0\) - \(V_2 = \frac{V_0}{4}\) Rearranging gives us: \[ T_2 = T_1 \left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^{\gamma - 1} \] Substituting the values: \[ T_2 = T_0 \left(\frac{V_0}{\frac{V_0}{4}}\right)^{\gamma - 1} = T_0 \left(4\right)^{\gamma - 1} \] Calculating \(\gamma - 1\): \[ \gamma - 1 = \frac{8}{3} - 1 = \frac{5}{3} \] Thus: \[ T_2 = T_0 \cdot 4^{\frac{5}{3}} = T_0 \cdot (2^2)^{\frac{5}{3}} = T_0 \cdot 2^{\frac{10}{3}} = T_0 \cdot 2^{3.33} \approx 10.08 T_0 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the work done during the adiabatic process The work done (W) in an adiabatic process can be calculated using: \[ W = \frac{n R (T_f - T_i)}{\gamma - 1} \] Where: - Total moles \(n = N_1 + N_2 = 5 + 1 = 6\) - \(T_f = T_2\) and \(T_i = T_0\) Substituting the values: \[ W = \frac{6R (10.08 T_0 - T_0)}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{6R (9.08 T_0)}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{6 \cdot 3R \cdot 9.08 T_0}{5} = \frac{54.48 R T_0}{5} \approx 10.896 R T_0 \] ### Step 5: Determine the final pressure (Pf) Using the relation: \[ P_1 V_1^{\gamma} = P_2 V_2^{\gamma} \] Rearranging gives: \[ P_2 = P_1 \left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^{\gamma} \] Substituting the values: \[ P_2 = P_0 \left(\frac{V_0}{\frac{V_0}{4}}\right)^{\gamma} = P_0 (4)^{\gamma} = P_0 \cdot 4^{\frac{8}{3}} \approx P_0 \cdot 10.08 \] ### Conclusion The correct statements regarding the gas mixture after adiabatic compression are: 1. The value of gamma (γ) is approximately 1.67. 2. The work done during the process is approximately \(10.896 R T_0\). 3. The final pressure of the gas mixture is approximately \(10.08 P_0\).
