The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the values of \( C_p \), \( C_v \), and \( \gamma \) for a mixture of 1 mole of helium and 1 mole of hydrogen. ### Step 1: Write down the given values For helium: - \( C_{p, He} = 2.5 R \) - \( C_{v, He} = 1.5 R \) For hydrogen: - \( C_{p, H_2} = 3.5 R \) - \( C_{v, H_2} = 2.5 R \) ### Step 2: Calculate the total \( C_v \) for the mixture The total \( C_v \) for the mixture can be calculated using the formula: \[ C_v = \frac{C_{v, He} + C_{v, H_2}}{n_{total}} \] where \( n_{total} \) is the total number of moles in the mixture. Since we have 1 mole of helium and 1 mole of hydrogen, \( n_{total} = 1 + 1 = 2 \). Substituting the values: \[ C_v = \frac{1.5 R + 2.5 R}{2} = \frac{4 R}{2} = 2 R \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total \( C_p \) for the mixture Using the formula: \[ C_p = \frac{C_{p, He} + C_{p, H_2}}{n_{total}} \] Substituting the values: \[ C_p = \frac{2.5 R + 3.5 R}{2} = \frac{6 R}{2} = 3 R \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( \gamma \) The ratio \( \gamma \) is given by: \[ \gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \gamma = \frac{3 R}{2 R} = 1.5 \] ### Final Results - \( C_p = 3 R \) - \( C_v = 2 R \) - \( \gamma = 1.5 \) ---

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the values of \( C_p \), \( C_v \), and \( \gamma \) for a mixture of 1 mole of helium and 1 mole of hydrogen. ### Step 1: Write down the given values For helium: - \( C_{p, He} = 2.5 R \) - \( C_{v, He} = 1.5 R \) For hydrogen: ...
