B
C
D
Correct
Topics & Concepts
Step-by-Step Solution
To find the final equilibrium temperature of the gas mixture, we apply the principle of conservation of internal energy. Since both gases are ideal monoatomic gases, their molar heat capacities at constant volume are equal.
The total internal energy before mixing is equal to the total internal energy after mixing:
Canceling from both sides gives:
Substituting the given values , , , and :
Thus, the final equilibrium temperature of the mixture is , which corresponds to Option D.
