Exercises for the Fifth 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?
• This system is the reverse of what you did in the Fourth experiment. Again, note when there are about 125 particles in each chamber and what the temperature difference is at that time.
• Why is this behavior different than you observed in the Fourth experiment?
