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 .

  1. (T1+T2)2
  2. T1T2PVT2P1V1+T1P2V2
  3. (T2P1V1+T1P2V2)T1T2PV
  4. |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

There are two vessels filled with an ideal gas where volume of one is double the volume of the other. The large vessel contains the gas at 8 kPa at 1000 K while the smaller vessel contains the gas at 7 kPa at 500 K. If the vessels are connected to each other by a thin tube allowing the gas to flow and the temperature of both vessels is maintained at 600 K, at steady state the pressure in the vessels will be (in kPa).
