One gas of n1 mole of molecules at temperature T1, volume V1, and pressure P1, and another gas of n2 mole of molecules at temperature T2, volume V2, and pressure P2, are mixed resulting in pressure P and volume V of the mixture. The temperature of the mixture is .
- (T1+T2)2
- T1T2PVT2P1V1+T1P2V2
- (T2P1V1+T1P2V2)T1T2PV
- |T1-T2|2
Answer
(2) T1T2PVT2P1V1+T1P2V2
Solution
Ideal gas equation for each gas before mixing:
n1= P1V1RT1, n2= P2V2RT2
The number of moles is conserved on mixing: PV=(n1+n2)RT
⇒ T= PVR(n1+n2)= PV P1V1T1+ P2V2T2
∴ T= T1T2PVT2P1V1+T1P2V2
