Topics & Concepts
Step-by-Step Solution
To find the temperature of the mixture of two ideal gases, we use the ideal gas equation .
For the first gas:
For the second gas:
When the two gases are mixed, the total number of moles in the mixture is the sum of the individual moles:
For the resulting mixture with pressure , volume , and temperature :
Substituting into the equation for the mixture:
Now, substitute the expressions for and :
Canceling the universal gas constant :
Taking a common denominator for the terms inside the parentheses:
Solving for the temperature of the mixture:
Thus, the correct option is B.
