Consider a box divided in half. One side is filled with 1 mol Ne at 300 Kelvin, and the other is filled with 1 mol Rn at 300 Kelvin. A small hole is opened in the divider between the sides, allowing the gases to mix. Suppose it takes 4.0 minutes for the Rn pressure to equilibrate between the two sides. How long (min) will it take the Ne pressure to equilibrate?
