Parta

aThe molar specific heat at constant volume of mixture is, CV=32n1+52n2Rn1+n2.

Partb

blocalid="1648535844362" Atn1→0,CV=52R;

Atn2→0,CV=32R.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1  Molar specific heat: (part a)

In the microsystem, the potential energy between the bonds is zero, and the kinetic energy of a monatomic gas is translational. If the temperature varies by a certain amount, ∆T, then the thermal energy for the system is given by equation in the form

ΔEth=i2nRΔT

The monatomic gas is

ΔEth=32n1RΔT

The diatomic gas is

ΔEth=52n2RΔT

Hence, the sum of the energy is

ΔEth=32n1RΔT+52n2RΔT

The molar specific heat is specified by

ΔEth=n1+n2CVΔT.

02

Step: 2 Finding the value of CV: 

The molar specific heat CVby

32n1RΔT+52n2RΔT=n1+n2CVΔT32n1+52n2R=n1+n2CVCV=32n1+52n2Rn1+n2.

03

Step: 3  Molar specific heat for monatomic gas and diatomic gas: (part b)

When n1→0,there is no monatomic gas.

CV=32(0)+52n2R0+n2=52R

This is the molar specific heat for diatomic gas.

When n2→0,there is no monatomic gas.

CV=32n1+52(0)Rn1+0=32R

For monatomic gas, this is the molar specific heat.
