Consider a gas filling two connected chambers that are separated by a removable barrier (Fig. P20.68). The gas molecules on the left (red) are initially at a higher temperature than the ones on the right (blue). When the barrier between the two chambers is removed, the molecules begin to mix and move from one chamber to the other. a. Describe what happens to the temperature in the left chamber and in the right chamber as time goes on, once the barrier is open. Discuss in terms of the mixing of the molecules from each gas. b. Describe what happens to the most probable speed and average speed in the left chamber and in the right chamber as time goes on, once the barrier is open. Do they increase or decrease by the same factor? Explain. FIGURE P20.68 Problems 68 and 69.

Hi, could I get some help with this macro-connection physics problem involving moles and the Ideal Gas Law?

One type of gas mixture used in anesthesiology is a 50%/50% mixture (by volume) of nitrous oxide (N2O) and oxygen (O2), which can be premixed and kept in a cylinder for later use. Because these two gases don't react chemically at or below 2000 psi, at typical room temperatures they form a homogeneous single gas phase, which can be considered an ideal gas. If the temperature drops below -6∘C, however, N2O may begin to condense out of the gas phase. Then any gas removed from the cylinder will initially be nearly pure O2; as the cylinder empties, the proportion of O2 will decrease until the gas coming from the cylinder is nearly pure N2O. In a test of the effects of low temperatures on the gas mixture, a cylinder filled at 27.0 ∘C to 2000 psi (gauge pressure) is cooled slowly and the pressure is monitored. What is the expected pressure at -5.00∘C if the gas remains a homogeneous mixture?
