3 moles of an ideal gas at a temperature of 27∘C27^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C} are mixed with 2 moles of an ideal gas at a temperature 227∘C227^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}, determine the equilibrium temperature of the mixture, assuming no loss of energy.

Options

  1. A327∘C327^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}
  2. B107∘C107^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}
  3. C318∘C318^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}
  4. D410∘C410^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}

Correct answer

B. 107∘C107^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}

Step-by-step solution

Energy possessed by the ideal gas at 27∘C27^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C} is E_{1}=3\left(\frac{3}{2}R ×\times300\right)=2700R2\frac{2700 R}{2}Energy possessed by the ideal gas at 227∘C227^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C} is E2=\mathrm{E}_{2}=2\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{R}}{2} \times500\right)=1500\mathrm{R}IfIf\mathrm{T}betheequilibriumtemperature,ofthemixture,thenitsenergywillbebe the equilibrium temperature, of the mixture, then its energy will be\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{m}}=5(3RT2)5\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{R} \mathrm{T}}{2}\right)Since, energy remains conserved, Em=E1+E2\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{E}_{1}+\mathrm{E}_{2}or 5(3RT2)=2700R2+1500R\quad 5\left(\frac{3 R T}{2}\right)=\frac{2700 R}{2}+1500 R or T=380 Kor107∘C\quad \mathrm{T}=380 \mathrm{~K} or 107^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}
