a. Two rigid tanks of equal volume contain equal amounts of two different ideal gases. In tank one the gases are separated by a thin membrane that maintains both gases at equal temperature and pressure, but prevents mixing. In tank two the gases are fully mixed. If both systems are given identical heat input starting from the same initial temperature, how does the final temperature of system one (unmixed) compare with system two (mixed)? Explain in 50 words or less. b: Consider two locations on earth with identical temperature and relative humidity. Location one is at sea level pressure, and location two is at high altitude where the pressure is 0.8 atmospheres. How does the specific humidity, w1 of the sea level location compare with that of the high altitude location, w2? Explain in 50 words or less.
