A gaseous mixture enclosed in a vessel consists of one gram mole of a gas A with `gamma=(5/3)` and some amount of gas B with `gamma=7/5` at a temperature T.
The gases A and B do not react with each other and are assumed to be ideal. Find the number of gram moles of the gas B if `gamma` for the gaseous mixture is `(19/13)`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of gram moles of gas B in a mixture of gases A and B, given their specific heat ratios (gamma values) and the gamma of the mixture. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - For gas A: - Number of moles (n1) = 1 mole - Gamma (γ_A) = 5/3 - For gas B: - Gamma (γ_B) = 7/5 - For the mixture: - Gamma (γ_mixture) = 19/13 2. **Calculate Cv for Each Gas:** - Using the formula \( C_v = \frac{R}{\gamma - 1} \): - For gas A: \[ C_{vA} = \frac{R}{\frac{5}{3} - 1} = \frac{R}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{3R}{2} \] - For gas B: \[ C_{vB} = \frac{R}{\frac{7}{5} - 1} = \frac{R}{\frac{2}{5}} = \frac{5R}{2} \] 3. **Calculate Cv for the Mixture:** - For the mixture: \[ C_{v\_mixture} = \frac{R}{\frac{19}{13} - 1} = \frac{R}{\frac{6}{13}} = \frac{13R}{6} \] 4. **Apply the Energy Conservation Equation:** - The change in internal energy of the mixture is equal to the sum of the internal energies of gases A and B: \[ (n_1 + n_2) C_{v\_mixture} = n_1 C_{vA} + n_2 C_{vB} \] - Substitute the known values: \[ (1 + n_2) \frac{13R}{6} = 1 \cdot \frac{3R}{2} + n_2 \cdot \frac{5R}{2} \] 5. **Simplify the Equation:** - Cancel R from both sides: \[ (1 + n_2) \frac{13}{6} = \frac{3}{2} + n_2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} \] - Multiply through by 6 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 13(1 + n_2) = 9 + 15n_2 \] - Distributing gives: \[ 13 + 13n_2 = 9 + 15n_2 \] 6. **Rearranging the Equation:** - Move all terms involving \( n_2 \) to one side: \[ 13 - 9 = 15n_2 - 13n_2 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 4 = 2n_2 \] 7. **Solve for \( n_2 \):** \[ n_2 = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \] ### Final Answer: The number of gram moles of gas B is **2 moles**.

To solve the problem, we need to find the number of gram moles of gas B in a mixture of gases A and B, given their specific heat ratios (gamma values) and the gamma of the mixture. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - For gas A: - Number of moles (n1) = 1 mole - Gamma (γ_A) = 5/3 ...
