Question:

If 2 mol of an ideal monoatomic gas at temperature To are mixed with 4 mol of another ideal monoatomic gas at temperature 2To, then the temperature of the mixture is : 

Options:

\(\frac{5}{3}T_o\)

\(\frac{3}{2}T_o\)

\(\frac{4}{3}T_o\)

\(\frac{5}{4}T_o\)

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{5}{3}T_o\)

Explanation:

Let T be the temperature of the mixture.

Then U = U1 + U2

\(\Rightarrow \frac{f}{2} (n_1 + n_2) RT = \frac{f}{2}n RT_o + \frac{f}{2} nR(2T_o)\)

(2 + 4)T = 2To + 8T ... [because n1 = 2, n2 = 4]

T = \(\frac{5}{3}T_o\)
