Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

$N$ moles of a polyatomic gas $(f=6)$ must be mixed with two moles of a monoatomic gas so that the mixture behaves as a diatomic gas. The value of $N$ is :

  1. A 6
  2. B 2
  3. C 4 Correct answer
  4. D 3

Solution

<p>$$\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_1 \mathrm{f}_1+\mathrm{n}_2 \mathrm{f}_2}{\mathrm{n}_1+\mathrm{n}_2}$$</p> <p>For diatomic gas $\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{eq}}=5$</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & 5=\frac{(\mathrm{N})(6)+(2)(3)}{\mathrm{N}+2} \\ & 5 \mathrm{~N}+10=6 \mathrm{~N}+6 \\ & \mathrm{~N}=4 \end{aligned}$$</p>
