    Two thermally insulated vessels 1 and 2 are filled with air at temperatures\[({{T}_{1}},{{T}_{2}}),\]volumes \[({{V}_{1}},{{V}_{2}}),\]and pressures\[({{p}_{1}},{{p}_{2}}),\]respectively. If the valve joining the two vessels is opened, the temperature inside the vessel at equilibrium will be

    A) \[{{T}_{1}}+{{T}_{2}}\]  

    B)        \[\frac{({{T}_{1}}+{{T}_{2}})}{2}\]            

    C)        \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}{{T}_{2}}({{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}})}{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}{{T}_{2}}+{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}{{T}_{1}}}\]

    D)        \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}{{T}_{2}}({{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}})}{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}{{T}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}{{T}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{n}_{1}}=\frac{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}{R{{T}_{1}}}\] \[{{n}_{2}}=\frac{{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{R{{T}_{2}}}\] From ideal gas equation, (as P and T will become same) \[n_{1}^{'}=\frac{p{{V}_{1}}}{RT}\] \[n_{2}^{'}=\frac{p{{V}_{2}}}{RT}\] \[{{n}_{1}}+{{n}_{2}}=n_{1}^{'}+n_{2}^{'}\]             (moles of gas remain same) \[\frac{1}{R}\left[ \frac{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}}+\frac{{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{{{T}_{2}}} \right]=\frac{p}{RT}({{V}_{1}}+{{V}_{2}})\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{P}{T}=\frac{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}{{T}_{2}}+{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}{{T}_{2}}({{V}_{1}}+{{V}_{2}})}\]                                ?..(i) Internal energy of the system (air in two vessels) remains same, before and after opening of valve, so \[\frac{f{{n}_{1}}R{{T}_{1}}}{2}+\frac{f{{n}_{2}}R{{T}_{2}}}{2}=\frac{f({{n}_{1}}+{{n}_{2}})RT}{2}\] where, f is degree of freedom of gas molecules \[\left[ U=\frac{fnRT}{2} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{n}_{1}}{{T}_{1}}+{{n}_{2}}{{T}_{2}}=({{n}_{1}}+{{n}_{2}})T\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{R}=\left( \frac{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}}+\frac{{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{{{T}_{2}}} \right)\frac{T}{R}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[T=\frac{({{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}){{T}_{1}}{{T}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}{{T}_{2}}+{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}{{T}_{1}}}\] From Eq. (i) we can find the equilibrium pressure also.
