Question

Calculate the value of `gamma` for a gaseous mixture consisting `n_(1)` moles of oxygen and `n_(2)` moles of carbon dioxide. The values of `gamma` for oxygen and carbon dioxide are `gamma_(1)` and `gamma_(2)` respectively. Assume the gases to be ideal.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - `gamma=(gamma_(1)gamma_(2)(n_(1)+n_(2))-(n_(1)gamma_(1)+n_(2)gamma_(2)))/(n_(1)(gamma_(2)-1)+n_(2)(gamma_(1)-1))`
