Two moles of oxygen are mixed with eight moles of helium. The effective specific heat of the mixture at constant volume is

A

`1.3 R`

B

`1.4R`

C

`1.7R`

D

`1.9R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For mixture of gases, `C_(V)=(n_(1)(CV)_(1)+n_(2)(C_(V))_(2))/(n_(1)+n_(2))`
Here, `(C_(V))_(1)=5/2R,(C_(V))_(2)=3/2R`
`therefore C_(V)=(2xx5/2R,(C_(V))_(2)=3/2R)/(2+8)=17/10R=1.7R`
