STANDARD Physics Internal Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A gas mixture consists of 2 moles of oxygen and 4 moles of argon at temperature T. Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is
A
4 RT
B
9 RT
C
11 RT
D
15 RT
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
For diatomic oxygen with no vibrational mode, U₁ = 2 × 5/2 RT = 5RT. For monoatomic argon, U₂ = 4 × 3/2 RT = 6RT. Total energy U = U₁ + U₂ = 5RT + 6RT = 11RT.
