Answer to Question #113859 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Sajjad Hussain

Question

A vessel contains non, linear triatomic gas. If y fractionof gas dissociate into individual atom then new valueof degree of freedom will be (ignoring vibrational mo

Answer 1

Let's assume we have 1 mole of triatomic gas

then 3 mole of atom X is present

So, y fractions of  moles dissociate= 3y X atoms

the fraction which does not dissociate =1-y
