Exercises for the Fourth
Experiment:
Write down the initial temperatures for each of the two
chambers.
Write down how many particles are in each gas initially
Click once on the vertical red bar (and WAIT!); observe the mixing of the gases
- What do you think the final equilibrium temperature will be?
- Will this system reach equilibrium faster or slower than it took
in the First experiment with the same temperature difference?
- Compare the rate of temperature change on the left and right sides?
Why are they so different?
- Time how long it takes for about 125 particles to exist in each
chamber and note the temperature difference the first time this occurs.
