b. Would the gas pressure increase by a factor of or ? Explain.
A sample of neon gas has of thermal energy. Estimate the average speed of a neon atom.
A box contains helium at a pressure of and a temperature of . It is placed in thermal contact with abox containing argon at a pressure ofand a temperature of .
a. What is the initial thermal energy of each gas?
b. What is the final thermal energy of each gas?
c. How much heat energy is transferred, and in which direction?
d. What is the final temperature?
e. What is the final pressure in each box?
The two containers of gas in FIGURE Q20.8 are in good thermal
contact with each other but well insulated from the environment. They
have been in contact for a long time and are in thermal equilibrium.
a. Is vrms of helium greater than, less than, or equal to vrms of
argon? Explain.
b. Does the helium have more thermal energy, less thermal
energy, or the same amount of thermal energy as the argon?
Explain.
III Consider a container like that shown in Figure \(20.12\), with \(n_{1}\) moles of a monatomic gas on one side and \(n_{2}\) moles of a diatomic gas on the other. The monatomic gas has initial temperature . The diatomic gas has initial temperature \(T_{2 \mathrm{i}}\).
a. Show that the equilibrium thermal energies are
