JEE Main 2022 · 29 Jul · Shift 1, Physics question 54

One mole of a monoatomic gas is mixed with three moles of a diatomic gas. The molecular specific heat of mixture at constant volume is α24R\dfrac{\alpha^2}4R J/mol K; then the value of α will be _______. (Assume that the given diatomic gas has no vibrational mode).

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 3

Mixture. CV=1⋅32R+3⋅52R4=94RC_V=\dfrac{1\cdot\frac32R+3\cdot\frac52R}{4}=\dfrac94R, so α2=9\alpha^2=9, α=3\alpha=3.

Answer: 3
