The correct answer is: 19 13
μ 1 = 1 γ 1 =5 / 3  (for monatomic gas) and μ 2 = 2 , γ 2 = 7 / 5  (for diatomic gas).

Form formula

    γ mixture = μ 1 γ 1 γ 1 - 1 + μ 2 γ 2 γ 2 - 1 μ 1 γ 1 - 1 + μ 2 γ 2 - 1

               = 1 × 5 3 5 3 - 1 + 2 × 7 5 7 5 - 1 1 5 3 - 1 + 2 7 5 - 1 = 5 3 + 7 3 2 + 5 = 1 9 1 3
