If you mix different amounts of two ideal gases that are originally at different temperatures, what must be true of the final state after the temperature stabilizes? (there may be more than one correct choice.)

a) both gases will reach the same final temperature.

b) the final rms molecular speed will be the same for both gases.

c) the final average kinetic energy of a molecule will be the same for both gases.

a,c are correct

Explanation:

a) On mixing two gases the final temperature of both the gases becomes the same. The heat will flow from high temp. gas to lower temp gas till the temp of both gases become equal (Thermal equilibrium). This is correct.

b) The rms speed of the molecule is inversely proportional to its molar mass so the final rsm will not be the same. This is incorrect.

c) The average kinetic energy of the system will remain the same. Hence this is also correct.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
