Question

Two rigid boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box A contains one mole of nitrogen at temperature T0, while Box B contains one mole of helium at temperature (7/3) T0. The boxes are then put into thermal contact with each other and heat flows between them until the gases reach a common final temperature. (Ignore the heat capacity of boxes). Then, the final temperature of the gases, Tf, in terms of T0 is

Options

A.Tf = T0
B.Tf = T0
C.Tf = T0
D.Tf = T0

Solution

ᐃU = 0
⇒     R(Tf - T0) + 1 × R(Tf - T0) = 0
        Tf = T0
