This is an experiment on a dilute isotopic mixture of helium gas. A spherical vessel of diameter 1 m is first filled with 4He gas to one atmosphere pressure. Then a small amount of 3He gas is introduced through a valve on one side of the vessel. Make a rough estimate of how long one must wait...
For the first question, i believe that mechanical energy is conserved hence we can derive the total energy i think. In regards to the second question, I'm assuming its at room temperature, so helium is monotonic therefore it has 3 degrees of freedom, therefore its internal energy is 3/2KT. I am...
