A gas mixture consists of 2 moles of oxygen and 4 moles of argon at temperature $T$. Neglecting vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is

  1. A.$11RT$
  2. B.$15RT$
  3. C.$9RT$
  4. D.$4RT$
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: A$11RT$

Solution

The internal energy is given by . For oxygen (diatomic), , so . For argon (monatomic), , so . Total energy is $5RT + 6RT = 11RT$.
