Question

A gas mixture consists of 2 moles of oxygen and 4 moles of argon at temperature T. Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is

Options

A.4 RT
B.15 RT
C.9 RT
D.11 RT

Solution

Internal energy of n moles of an ideal gas at temperature T is given by
      U = n
      Where, f = degree of freedom
      = 5 for O2 and 3 for Ar
Hence, U = UQ2 + UAr = 2 = 11RT
