The drawing shows two thermally insulated tanks. drawing: http://www.webassign.net/CJ/14_26.gif
They are connected by a valve that is initially closed. Each tank contains neon gas at the pressure, temperature, and volume indicated in the drawing. When the valve is opened, the contents of the two tanks mix, and the pressure becomes constant throughout.
(a) What is the final temperature? Ignore any change in temperature of the tanks themselves.(Hint: The heat gained by the gas in one tank is equal to that lost by the other.)
_______K
(b) What is the final pressure?
_______Pa
I have stared at this picture for like 30 minutes and read the entire chapter on thermodynamics in my physics book but I can't find a solution. Please provide one, thank you.
