Correct answer: C

  1. Given one mole each of two ideal gases:

    • Monatomic gas: γ1=53\gamma_1 = \dfrac{5}{3}γ1​=35​
    • Diatomic gas: γ2=75\gamma_2 = \dfrac{7}{5}γ2​=57​

    We need γ\gammaγ for the mixture.

  2. Use the relation γ=CpCv,Cp−Cv=R\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}, \qquad C_p - C_v = Rγ=Cv​Cp​​,Cp​−Cv​=R Hence, Cv=Rγ−1,Cp=γRγ−1C_v = \frac{R}{\gamma - 1}, \qquad C_p = \frac{\gamma R}{\gamma - 1}Cv​=γ−1R​,Cp​=γ−1γR​

  3. For the monatomic gas (1(1(1 mole))): Cv1=R53−1=R23=3R2C_{v1} = \frac{R}{\frac{5}{3}-1} = \frac{R}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{3R}{2}Cv1​=35​−1R​=32​R​=23R​ Cp1=Cv1+R=3R2+R=5R2C_{p1} = C_{v1}+R = \frac{3R}{2}+R = \frac{5R}{2}Cp1​=Cv1​+R=23R​+R=25R​

  4. For the diatomic gas (1(1(1 mole))): Cv2=R75−1=R25=5R2C_{v2} = \frac{R}{\frac{7}{5}-1} = \frac{R}{\frac{2}{5}} = \frac{5R}{2}Cv2​=57​−1R​=52​R​=25R​ Cp2=Cv2+R=5R2+R=7R2C_{p2} = C_{v2}+R = \frac{5R}{2}+R = \frac{7R}{2}Cp2​=Cv2​+R=25R​+R=27R​

  5. For the mixture of 1 mole + 1 mole: Total heat capacities are additive: Cv,mix=Cv1+Cv2=3R2+5R2=4RC_{v,\text{mix}} = C_{v1}+C_{v2} = \frac{3R}{2}+\frac{5R}{2} = 4RCv,mix​=Cv1​+Cv2​=23R​+25R​=4R Cp,mix=Cp1+Cp2=5R2+7R2=6RC_{p,\text{mix}} = C_{p1}+C_{p2} = \frac{5R}{2}+\frac{7R}{2} = 6RCp,mix​=Cp1​+Cp2​=25R​+27R​=6R

  6. Therefore, γmix=Cp,mixCv,mix=6R4R=32\gamma_{\text{mix}} = \frac{C_{p,\text{mix}}}{C_{v,\text{mix}}} = \frac{6R}{4R} = \frac{3}{2}γmix​=Cv,mix​Cp,mix​​=4R6R​=23​

  7. Match with options: γ=32\boxed{\gamma = \frac{3}{2}}γ=23​​ So the correct option is C.
