You need to design a gas with a y (= Cp/Cv) value of 1.5. While no individual gas has this value, you could produce such a gas by mixing together a monatomic gas and a diatomic gas. What fraction or percentage of the molecules in the mixture needs to be monatomic? [Hint: for a monatomic gas Cv = (3/2)R and for a diamotic gas Cy = (5/2)R.]
