Degrees of Freedom & Internal Energy

A gas mixture consists of 8 moles of argon and 6 moles of oxygen at temperature T. Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Ar: f=3f = 3; O2\text{O}_2 (no vibration): f=5f = 5.
  2. U=8×32RT+6×52RT=12RT+15RTU = 8 \times \frac{3}{2}RT + 6 \times \frac{5}{2}RT = 12RT + 15RT
  3. So the answer is (b) 27RT27RT.
