In the above question, if

\mathrm{\gamma } = 1.5

,the gas may

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

A mixture of monoatomic and diatomic gases

Option C (A mixture of monoatomic and diatomic gases) is correct because a gamma value of 1.5 lies between the gamma values of monoatomic (1.67) and diatomic (1.4) gases, implying a mixture.
