    The ratio \[{{C}_{p}}/{{C}_{v}}\] for a gas mixture consisting of 8g of helium and 16 g of oxygen is

    A) 24.2/15

    B)        15/23

    C) 27/17   

    D)        17/27 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\gamma \] for \[He=5/3;\] \[\gamma \] for \[~{{O}_{2}}=7/5\] 8 g of He is equal to 2 moles of He and 16 g of \[~{{O}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}mole\] of \[~{{O}_{2}}=7/5\] gas. Total one has \[2{\scriptstyle{}^{1}/{}_{2}}\] moles. \[\therefore \]   The weighted average is \[=\left( 2\times \frac{5}{3}+\frac{7}{5}\times \frac{1}{2} \right)\times \frac{2}{5}=\left\{ \frac{10}{3}+\frac{7}{10} \right\}\times \frac{2}{5}\] \[=\frac{121}{30}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{24.5}{15}\]
