Question

Two ideal monoatomic and diatomic gases are mixed are mixed at same temperature with one another to form an ideal gas mixture. The equation of the adiabatic process of the mixture is PVγ= constant, where γ=117. If n1 and n2 are the number of moles of the mono atomic and diatomic gases in the mixture respectively, find the ratio n1n2 (Answer upto two digit after decimal point).

Solution

As, γ is given, we can find f using following relation:
γ=1+2f
γ=117=1+47f=72
The calculated f is for the mixture of gases, so f=fmixture

We know that, if two different types of gases are mixed at same temperature together, then the degree of freedom of the mixture is calculated by:
fmixture=n1.f1+n2.f2n1+n2
Here,
f1= Degree of freedom of gas 1=3
f2= Degree of freedom of gas 2=5

fmixture=72=n1.3+n2.5n1+n2n1n2=3
