  1. A gas mixture consists of 2 moles of O2 and 4 moles of Ar at temperature T. Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is :-
    1. 15 RT
    2. 9 RT
    3. 11 RT
    4. 4 RT
Correct Option: C

Internal energy of the system is given by

U =
f
nRT
2

Degree of freedom
Fdiatomic = 5
fmonoatomic = 3
and, number of moles
n(O2) = 2
n(Ar) = 4
Utotal =
5
(2)TR +
3
(4)TR = 11RT
