a vessel contains a non linear triatomic gas. if 50% of gas disassociate into individual atom, then find new value of freedom by ignoring the vibrational mode and any further dissociation
50% of the gas dissociated becomes mono-atomic,
∴ f1 = 1/2 x 3 = 3/2
While 50% of the gas is still non-linear tri-atomic gas,
∴ f2 = 1/2 x 5 = 5/2
So, new degree of freedom will be equal to f1 + f2 = 3/2 + 5/2 = 8/2 = 4
∴ f1 = 1/2 x 3 = 3/2
While 50% of the gas is still non-linear tri-atomic gas,
∴ f2 = 1/2 x 5 = 5/2
So, new degree of freedom will be equal to f1 + f2 = 3/2 + 5/2 = 8/2 = 4
