उत्तर
For the first ideal gas,
Cp1 = specific heat at constant pressure
Cv1 = specific heat at constant volume
n1 = number of moles of the gas
`"C"_("p"1)/"C"_("v"1) = gamma and "C"_("p"1) -"C"_("v"1) = "R"`
`=> gamma "C"_("v"1) - "C"_("v"1) ="R"`
`=> "C"_("v"1)(gamma-1) ="R"`
`=> "C"_("v"1) = "R"/(gamma -1)`
`"C"_("p"1) = gamma "R"/((gamma-1))`
For the second ideal gas,
Cp2 = specific heat at constant pressure
Cv2 = specific heat at constant volume
n2 = number of moles of the gas
`"C"_("p"2)/"C"_("v"2) = gamma and "C"_("p"2) -"C"_("v"2) = "R"`
`=> gamma "C"_("v"2) - "C"_("v"2) ="R"`
`=> "C"_("v"2)(gamma-1) ="R"`
`=> "C"_("v"2) = "R"/(gamma -1)`
`"C"_("p"2) = gamma "R"/((gamma-1))`
Given:
n1 = n2 = 1 : 2
dU1 = nCv1dt
dU2= 2nCv2dT
When the gases are mixed,
nCv1dT + 2nCv2dT = 3nCvdT
`"C"_"v" = ("C"_("v"1) +2"C"_("v"2))/3`
`= (" R"/(gamma-1) +(2"R")/(gamma-1))/3`
`= (3"R")/((gamma-1)3) = "R"/(gamma-1)`
Hence, Cp / Cv in the mixture is γ.

Diatomic molecules like hydrogen have energies due to both translational as well as rotational motion. From the equation in kinetic theory `pV = 2/3` E, E is ______.
- the total energy per unit volume.
- only the translational part of energy because rotational energy is very small compared to the translational energy.
- only the translational part of the energy because during collisions with the wall pressure relates to change in linear momentum.
- the translational part of the energy because rotational energies of molecules can be of either sign and its average over all the molecules is zero.
