Solution

The correct option is C 2750 cal
Given,
Weight of hydrogen =10 g
Weight of helium =40 g
No. of moles of hydrogen (n1)=102=5
No. of moles of helium (n2)=404=10
Since, hydrogen is diatomic and helium is monoatomic, we get (CV)1=5R2
(CV)2=3R2
We know that,
(CV)mixture=n1CV1+n2CV2n1+n2
=5(5R2)+10(3R2)15
=11R6
ΔQ=n(CV)mixtureΔT=15×11×2×506=2750 cal
